and so in anticipation of that, the defence secretary grant shapps was asked about that on laura kuenssberg here on the bbc a short while ago. here's what he had to say. the idea it's taken all of this time to get to the truth, i think is heartbreaking. i haven't seen the report yet. the government has already said that it will want to respond quickly to it. and so i know that that's what will happen. can you confirm the compensation? i can't. i'm not in that position. we'll certainly want others and the chancellor and the prime minister to talk about it. but i do know, as i say, from my own constituency casework, it's heartbreaking and it's the system over decades having let down these families. and not only has this been a scandal that's gone back decades, but of course it will take many, many more years just to get that compensation out. it's such a huge problem there. so this is something potentially the labour party will inherit if they win the next general election. so, same question to the shadow health secretary, on the same programme. here's what he had to say. let it be justjustic

shapps stopped short of naming china. we haven't had an official accusation against china, i think we should be clear about that. there is a process which is called attribution which the government does where it says, "we've looked at this incident and we think it was china". now, that can often take time. so, for instance, there was a breach of the uk's electoral commission, which happened about three years ago, and there's onlyjust been attributed to china. so that's how long it sometimes takes to publicly blame another country for something like that, because they want to be absolutely sure. so we have not had that public attribution of blame and we may not get it for some time. so there is an assumption, a suspicion from officials that this was indeed china, partly because of chinese behaviour in the past, because there had been these incidents where they've been going off on this kind of data set. brian lord is a former operation that gc hq, brian lord is a former operation that gc h0, and the protection group intern
