Does my hon. Friend agree that it is not above the Minister’s pay grade to be able to confirm that the conventions and arrangements
that give the ISC a particular constitutional place in the way our system works ought to operate, even if they have not done so for the last 10 years? Does he, like me, look forward to being able to hear the Minister—rather than dismissing this important concern about the dereliction of a constitutional duty—give us an assurance that this will be the case in the future?
