Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 21 January 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment his Department has made of whether the public disclosure now of (a) all or (b) some of the documents first disclosed by Mr. Derek Pasquill and which formed the basis of his prosecution for breaches of the Official Secrets Act 1989 would harm international relations.
The documents have remained in the public domain since they were first disclosed. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provided a witness statement to the police, in December 2006, setting out its considered assessment of the damage caused, by the disclosures. We have made no subsequent damage assessment.
