UNAUTHORISED DISCLOSURE OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS

Early day motion 1771, tabled 11 June 2008 by Andrew MacKinlay (Labour). Signed by 20 members.

That this House notes the loss of secret papers by a member of the security and intelligence services on a southbound train from Waterloo on 10th June 2008; considers this raises serious questions about the stewardship and management of the Joint Intelligence Committee; believes this incident further underlines the need for parliamentary oversight of the security and intelligence services which currently does not exist; and calls on the Government to initiate an inquiry into the circumstances of this serious breach of security.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 7, Conservative 1, DUP 1.
