Hansard records that Mrs Beckett's response was in the form of a 'holding answer'. She knows full well the consequences of complete disclosure and is attempting to slow down that process for as long as possible for the sake of her beloved leader. The day of reckoning is getting closer and her invocation of the 'national security' card just demonstrates that her knowledge of this is correct. But she won't jump ship with her captain still on the bridge. She knows a storm is coming. She knows it will probably break the boat. She will stay onboard until the very end.
