The initial advice we received came from the Editor of Debates, who is in charge of the section within the office which publishes transcripts of proceedings and who indicated that they cannot be redacted. Any request for a transcript must be referred to the CPP. Clearly, therefore, an issue arises in the context of legalities. In order that it might proceed with the work it is due to carry out today, perhaps the committee might agree to request that Ms Mellissa English provide legal advice on the matter next week.
