Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how the list of news organisations that attended to report on her recent trip Rwanda was drawn up; and what assessment she has made of the compatibility of that list with the Government Communications Service Propriety Guidance on the need for media officers to establish their impartiality and neutrality with the news media by dealing with all news media evenhandedly.

Due consideration of the GCS guidelines is undertaken in Home Office communications.

All news organisations were kept informed of the progress of the visit regardless of whether they attended or not.
