Darren Jones says release will be ‘one of the largest government publications ever laid in this house’ On Friday parliament’s intelligence and security committee issued a damning statement about the government’s response to the humble address requiring the release of documents relating to the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US.
