Al Megrahi

Asked when the Government documents on Al Megrahi would be published, the PMS said that the Prime Minister had asked the Cabinet Secretary to look over those documents and decide whether or not they should be published. That review was ongoing and would report shortly.

Asked if previous Ministers were consulted, the PMS said that that was part of the process.

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned about reports that the Duke of York had been involved in Al Megrahi’s release, the PMS said that there were a number of leaks reported in the newspapers today but we did not comment on leaks. The PMS drew peoples’ attention to the fact that the Bill Rammell letter mentioned in the press today had been released under the FOI Act at the end of 2009.
