I can add some information about the expected announcement on Tuesday which I hope will be helpful. Apologies if this is a duplicate post - didn't seem to work the first time I tried.
The purpose of the "lock in" is to ensure that the press have all the detailed information they need but cannot report it before it is placed in the public domain via the proper channel - namely, Parliament. This is not unpredecented, and has been used when releasing the results of BOIs before.
I understand that the families will be briefed on the conclusions of the BOI in private on the morning before the Parliamentary statement, and before the press. This is also not unprecedented.
We plan to publish further information - including the BOI report itself - on the MOD website as soon as possible after the Parliamentary statement (expected 1530 Tuesday). I will post a link to that information here as soon as it is available... If someone doesn't beat me to it.
