Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the (a) reasons for not destroying sensitive material including personal details of Afghans employed by the UK Government during the drawdown of the UK Embassy in Kabul, (b) threat posed to people who have been exposed by their details not having been destroyed and (c) potential for ongoing UK operations in the region to have been compromised by not destroying such sensitive material.

We have worked tirelessly to secure the safety of those who worked for us including getting three families to safety. During the drawdown of our Embassy every effort was made to destroy sensitive material.
