Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, with reference to his Department's Major Projects Portfolio September 2013, published on 23 May 2014, if he will place in the Library the lessons learned document in respect of the Royal Mail sale of shares.

The lessons learned document was prepared for internal use by the Department.

The Department does not intend to give this document wider circulation as producing such documents is important part of the decision making process and to release it would have an inhibiting effect on future Government decision making processes (including the identification of ways to improve those processes).
