Sir Lindsay Hoyle should have told the Minister to the MPs of Afghan's data leak, says Harriet Harman | Political news

The spokesman for Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, knew about Afghan data leaks and would have informed the Minister to the MPs, as Dame Harriet said.

Speak to Beth Rigby on the Election function disorder The podcast said the Labor Peer said the spokesman for whose task she was headed in 2019 – should have asked that an important selection committee would be made aware of.

A spokesman said that he was “himself under a super injury” and would therefore have been “under severe legal restrictions”.

A massive data injury The British military, which was only published this week, revealed the personal information of almost 20,000 Afghan people and endangered them and their families.

The successive governments tried to keep the leak secret with a super injured heating, which means that Britain only informed all those affected on Tuesday thirty and a half years after their data has been compromised.

The violation occurred in February 2022, when Boris Johnson was a prime minister, but was only discovered by the British military in August 2023.

In September of this year, super-in-in-monitoring became that prevented reporting on the error.

The previous conservative government set up a secret system in 2023, which can be announced for the first time in order to relocate the Afghan citizens affected by the data injury, but who were not used for an existing program for relocating and supporting people who had worked for the British government in Afghanistan.

Around 6,900 Afghans – with 1,500 people mentioned on the list and their relatives – are moved to Great Britain as part of this program.

Lady Harriet said: “The spokesman was warned” if someone is saying something that violates this injunction, please immediately ring it if a MP does this. “

“But what he should have done at this time should have said, but the parliamentary accountability is important. I am the speaker. I will work for the parliamentary accountability. And you must inform the intelligence and security committee and allow you to be accountable.

“What has happened now is that this is open, the secret service and security committee will look at everything. So it will be able to see all papers from the mod [Ministry of Defence]. “

HAME HARRIET urged whether she said that the spokesman did not do his job, and replied: “Yes, and it is a bit insidious that I should say that Lindsay Hoyle was of course chosen as a speaker at that time, I myself ran to be a speaker, and the house chose him more than me.

“So it is a bit bad to make this proposal for someone who actually won a choice that they did not win.

A spokesman said: “How clear was Mr. spokesman himself under a super-in-revint and would therefore have been with strict legal restrictions on talking about it.

“He would have had no awareness of which organizations or individuals were already aware of this matter.

“The injunction was unable to restrict the procedure in parliament and, between the injunction in September 2023 and the parliamentary elections in 2024, spokesman asked four urgent questions about Afghan refugees and new resettlement systems.

“In addition, as in the law of Justice and Security 2013, the spokesman has no powers to refer to the secret service and security committee.”
