All Parliamentary committees publish online, whether evidence is written or oral.
You can ask for an exception for part of your evidence, if you fully explain why, which the committee considers. The usual reasons for discretion apply. It's almost unheard of for some evidence not to be published at all, though it has happened. 1980s I think was the last case.
No idea what dusty precedent or procedures apply when someone refuses to attend or documents are seized. That doesn't happen much.
Maybe no one asked. Maybe this is the redacted for sensitivity version as we have no idea the amount seized in the first place. I think we'd have to wait for the report to know.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoExcellent, thank you for an actual response that isn’t “haha, screw Facebook, who cares!” If this is just part of the normal investigative procedure rather than a gross abuse of authority, then so be it.
