MPs on the influential Home Affairs Select Committee want to know whether she asked for sections to be redacted because they could embarrass Westminster.

FCO corrects statement on May's meeting with US Senate

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has issued a correction to an earlier response to an FOI request on a meeting between the Home Secretary and members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The statement seeks to correct the record on when and whether the meeting took place.

Due to a clerical error, which we very much regret, the FCO’s FOI response of 1 August on contacts with the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which has been widely reported today, referred to a meeting between the Committee and the Home Secretary in July 2011.

That was a mistake: her planned visit in July 2011 did not take place and was postponed until September 2011. On that reinstated visit in September 2011, she did not meet the Committee.
