This is about more than just this leaked report; this is about the integrity of future investigations and future leaked reports.

Whereas here, there is the additional element of ongoing inquiries, there are further potential risks to the overall integrity of the process if information is put in the public domain on a piecemeal basis. This is, however, in operational terms, a matter for the Permanent Secretary. She has confirmed that a copy of the leaked report will be made available to the Queen's Counsel conducting the independent investigation. That is the right process to follow in this matter, in our view. Diolch.
