Recommendation 6
6
Rectify reduction in public accountability and consult committees before classifying readiness information
Recommendation
We also recommend that the Government explain why previously unclassified information about readiness is no longer published, recognise the reduction in public and parliamentary accountability that this has brought about, and seek to rectify the situation. In future, when a decision is being considered to classify previously available information, we recommend that the Government should consult the relevant House of Commons Select Committee before that decision is made. (Paragraph 36) Readiness of the UK Armed Forces
