Lib Dems force government to release Andrew files

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the successful Liberal Democrat motion in Parliament forcing the Government to release the Andrew files, Ed Davey, Liberal Democrat Leader, said: 

"Today is an important step in dismantling the system that protected Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein’s other associates. The victims, survivors and their families have waited far too long for the truth to come out and justice to be done.

"We need a complete change of culture to hold the powerful to account. That starts with full transparency so we can understand how and why Andrew was given the job of trade envoy in the first place.

"Now that the government has agreed to publish these files, we will use every lever at our disposal – politically and legally – to prevent any needless delay in bringing out the truth.”
