There was no breach of communications security in my Department relating to the leak of information to newspapers regarding the evidence I gave to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee on 3 September 2014. Any communication with the media was aimed at correcting inaccurate reports of what I was expected to say to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee.
