Trade minister Chris Bryant is handling the LibDems’ opposition day Humble Address, which will release files relating to Andrew’s time as trade envoy:
“The government will of course comply with the terms of the Humble Address in full. As I say, we support the motion, but as the House will know, there is a live police investigation into the former Duke of York after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The House will also be aware that following that arrest on the 19th of February, Buckingham Palace issued a statement on behalf of the King. His Majesty emphasised that the law must take its course and that the palace would provide its full and wholehearted support and cooperation. The statement concluded with a commitment that his majesty and the royal family would continue in their duty and service to the nation. Mr Speaker, I’m sure that is a sentiment that the whole house will support. As the police have rightly said, it is absolutely crucial that the integrity of their investigation is protected. And now these proceedings are underway. It would be wrong of me to say anything that might prejudice them. Nor will the government be able to put into the public domain anything that is required by the police for them to conduct their inquiries unless and until the police are satisfied.”
Labour preparing for a big delay on any files…
