Defense Secretary to address MPs on secret Afghan withdrawals – Live

The government is expected to address Parliament shortly after risking the lives of 100,000 people in a data breech.

Defense Secretary John Heli is expected to speak in Commons soon.

We will bring you the latest here.

Raising the superinjunction on Tuesday, the High Court Judge Mr. Justice Chamberlain, after the official review of the data leak, “originally reduced the clear base” for further investigation “, on which the superinjunction was based.

In January 2025, former deputy head Paul Rimmer of Defense Intelligence was commissioned to review the government’s approach, there was a report that would make hole in his legal case.

It will be concluded that as the Taliban already had access to “important versions of data” to identify goals and the leaked dataset would have “a piece of puzzle” instead of “smoking gun”.

The official review of the commissioned leaks in January 2025 warned that the government may have made the Taliban more attractive by making a special withdrawal plan and slapping the media with a superintendent.

Since terrible violations are eventually made public, it is revealed:

• The government was ready to vacate more than 42,000 people affected by data leaks at an estimated cost of £ 7BN
• It is believed
• The official review of the commissioned leak in January 2025 warned that the government may have slapped the media with a special clearance plan and a superin.
• The mod is facing compensation claims from more than 650 Afghans, which believe that they are affected by the breech, which can cost hundreds of crores of pounds.

More than 16,000 Afghans were evacuated in the UK after the data leak, which put their lives at risk.

The list of names and information with apprehensions may fall into the hands of the Taliban, Britain began the greatest secret Morrtime withdrawal in British history.

The operation is estimated by the government to spend billions.

It was kept secret from the MPs and the public as the ministers also decided to hide the exact cause of withdrawal from Parliament.

The leak spreadsheet had confidential contact information for the Afghan transfer and aid policy (ARAP) of the Ministry of Defense for applicants, a plan for Afghans who supported British soldiers.

The database had a details of 18,800 Afghan applicants, as well as some names of his family.

It had the names of the applicants, their father’s name, email address, phone number and their case.

The database was shared twice by a member of the armed forces in February 2022, trying to verify the applications for the rehabilitation plan.

Breach was discovered only in August 2023 when a Facebook group’s “anonymous member” posted the share of the database online.

The Afghan data breech superinjunction was picked up by Shri Justice Chamberlain on Tuesday 15 July at 12 noon.

He decided to raise the order following the idea of Defense Secretary John Heli, it was not necessary.

The superinjunction was given on 1 September 2023, which means it was more than 21 months.

This superinjunction was awarded ‘Contra Mundam’. Contra Mundam, Latin for ‘against the world’, means that it applies to everyone else.

The effect of this is that a person can be found in the contempt of the court if they share any information about prohibitory orders, whether they are participating in the proceedings or not.

A data by the Ministry of Defense has put the life of 100,000 people at risk and provoked the clearance of the biggest secret peacock in British history – then the British press was kept secret by an unprecedented superinjunction for about two years, it may have come out today.

In February 2022, the leak highlighted the details of thousands of Afghans, seeking a sanctuary in Britain, fearing that the information could fall into the Taliban’s hands.

As a result, more than 16,000 Afghans were brought to the UK under an operation in the UK, estimated for the cost of billions, which were kept secret from MPs and as public, ministers also misled Parliament to hide the correct reason for evacuation.

The extraordinary case may now be revealed only after a two -year court fight, in which the national media fought to raise the superinjunction, a court order is so strict that even it is forbidden to mention its existence.
