Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many reports he has received from Interserve about a potential break-in at a confidential waste room in his Department's headquarters between June and July 2019.

There was no break-in at a confidential waste room. The door to a room containing confidential waste was forced in a controlled manner by appropriately cleared Interserve staff. This was the result of the key being misplaced. The room is managed by Interserve in accordance with the delivery of contracted facility management services.
