Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will now list the titles of each of the papers his Department made available to the Scott inquiry. [15700]

Mr. Hanley

I have no plans to list the titles of the 16,234 pages of papers which this Department provided to the Scott inquiry. The inquiry will be publishing a substantial number of these documents in an annex to the report.
