Answer

One Privy Councillor writes to another Privy Councillor and requests an explanation of facts so serious that he proposes an answer on Privy Council terms. And he asks for a confirmation that there has been no change in the Wilson Doctrine that leaves members of the UK Parliament free of all surveillance.

The denial that this letter has been received is a dereliction of duty by the Prime Minister. It is his job to have the letter 'found' and reply to it.

Or to refuse to reply to it.

It's so shameful to have a Prime Minister who doesn't know how to behave.

One wonders whether the famed Moral Compass still twitches when he gives the order:

just tell him we never received it

The pros and cons on the Wilson Doctrine are better covered on Spyblog than I ever could, ND.

It is pretending not to have received a request from a member of the Privy Council that astonishes.

No civil servant would deny such a letter except by direct order. It is bad enough refusing to engage with the electorate both of his Party, and of the country.

Now he refuses to engage with Parliament, the Privy Council (of which the Labour cabinet is only a committee), and the Opposition.

And it is him, not some clerical error, for that would have been rectified by now. He's defiant in his bunker.

He doesn't work properly, but he's nasty with it.
