    Nor can anyone in government make such decisions.

    While parliment is sovereign. It can only overrode government if it votes as a majority to do so.

    Translation. When one MP or a small group. Ask questions about security. One minister cannot answer it without breaking the law.

    IE corbyn needs the majority of parliment to force any minister to release information on spying.

    As much as I disagree on the actions over gaza. It is not reasonable to expect any government member to answer such questions without full parliamentary support.
