Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish the names of all those in the UK who were listed as agents or informers of the former German Democratic Republic Ministry of State Security (Stasi).

It is a longstanding principle that the Government will neither confirm nor deny allegations, assertions or speculation about UK intelligence agencies’ operations. Confirming or denying sensitive details about their work could reveal methods and techniques, undermining their ability to keep the country safe.
