​In the written statement of 15 September 2016, HCWS 157, the Prime Minister confirmed that the Government would look carefully at the Intelligence Services Commissioner's report and take steps to address the issues where he has identified shortcomings in the response at the time, drawing upon the report's recommendations. It is the long standing policy of successive Governments not to comment on the intelligence agencies and their work.
