I refer the Hon Member to the Government's statement and release of information on 1 June, providing an update on the response to the Humble Address, and the answers given by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister in response to questions during the General Debate on 3 June. The documents published in the first and second tranches contain the entirety of the documents the Government has available for disclosure, except those being withheld at the request of the Metropolitan Police. As the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister said on 3 June, the Metropolitan Police have permitted the Government to confirm the categories of documents that they are holding, but nothing further. When the Metropolitan Police have concluded their investigation, this material will be published.
