The Prime Minister
He was given clearance—those are the facts as I have set them out.
Clive Efford (Eltham and Chislehurst) (Lab)
The Prime Minister has always behaved with the utmost integrity and honour when dealing with this House, and he is an eminent lawyer who understands the consequences of deliberately coming to the House to mislead Parliament. On top of that, he also understands the likelihood of a paper trail unravelling such a deception, so it is inconceivable that he would intentionally mislead this House. But does he agree with me that all the documents relevant to this matter must be made public in accordance with the Humble Address that was passed on 4 February and that no Ministers or officials should engage in trying to prevent any of the documents from being made public?
The Prime Minister
Yes, we will comply with the Humble Address in full. That is the process that is going on.
