§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many records are permanently retained by the security services only for the purpose of resolving complaints, concerning the content of the record, made under the Security Service Act 1989; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeIt is not the practice to disclose such information which is, in any event, not readily available because of changes in record-keeping procedures by the security service in order to meet the needs of the Complaints Tribunal and the Security Service Act.
