, Shadow Home
Secretary, responding to the letter from Home Secretary
to the Home Affairs
Select Committee, said:
“This letter fails to answer all the serious questions about the
Home Secretary’s irresponsible conduct and shows that neither she
nor the Prime Minister recognise the gravity of these issues.
“The Home Secretary has now admitted she sent government
documents to her personal phone six times in 43 days - that’s
once in every week she was in the post.
“There are still significant inconsistencies in the information
in this letter and her original resignation letter. There are
also still no answers about alleged security breaches and leak
investigations while she was Attorney General or about whether
the Prime Minister ignored the Cabinet Secretary’s advice in
reappointing her just 6 days after she was forced to resign.
“It is also astonishing that as Home Secretary in charge of
national security and former Attorney General she has therefore
needed to seek an additional briefing on “what constitutes
appropriate use of Government and personal IT.”
“This therefore leaves more unanswered questions, more confusion
and more chaos from the Home Secretary and the Government. It
shows why was so irresponsible in
reappointing her to her post.”
