It is not possible at this stage to put the entire report in the public domain in view of the nature of the allegations that are contained in the protected disclosures. The House will appreciate there is an obligation, including a general constitutional obligation, to protect the good names and reputations of persons who may be the subject of untested allegations and, in that regard, it is not appropriate to comment further. Deputies will have ample opportunity to debate the issues when the motion to approve the draft order is taken in the House. Furthermore, I must caution that the persons who made the protected disclosures are, pending the laying of the draft order before the House, still entitled to have their identities protected in accordance with the Protected Disclosures Act 2014.
