00:12are pressing for the bill to apply fully to security services.
00:17Ministers say the pause allows further changes to ensure national security is protected.
00:22The government insists it supports a duty of candour, requiring public bodies to act
00:27truthfully during investigations. Campaigners argue current wording could exclude individual
00:33intelligence officers. The PM is due to meet affected families as ministers consider amendments
00:39ahead of the bill's next parliamentary stage following cross-party pressure.
