You wrote to Andrew Stuart on 13 November asking if we could ensure you are kept up to date on Ministerial statements about the Defence Review.
2.
The text of any major Ministerial statements will be telegraphed to the Governor by our Guidance and Information Policy Department. However, we shall try to ensure that you also get an early sight of any relevant statements which GIPD are not distributing.

I enclose a Hansard extract showing what the Lord President of the Council told the House of Commons on 31 October.
