Answer

I received one document on 9 March 2026 titled ‘MPI response to Iran conflict’. MPI officials provide input into relevant briefings and situation reports led by other agencies as part of the All-of-Government response to the Middle East Conflict. MPI officials also report to a regular meeting with a Ministerial group, which I am part of. I have also been verbally briefed at meetings with MPI officials.
