Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there is a pre-approved list under section 22 of his Department's November 2018 policy on the passing or receipt of intelligence relating to detained or captured persons of people on whom intelligence can be shared.

There are no set criteria for pre-approving sharing of intelligence on individuals. Any criteria would be specific to the operational circumstances and environment encountered at the time that intelligence sharing was considered. This section of the policy has never been used and no such lists have ever existed. This section will be removed from our policy later this year when it is revised following the Government's consideration of the Investigatory Powers Commissioner's recommendations.
