Draft documents
DV
I assume that you are referring to the Word version and change history information to infer the issue status of the QQ documents. I have 2 points to make: one, it is known that this history is stored in the Word document and there are methods to prevent such information 'leaking' out (obviously not done in this case). Two, it is common within the MOD (and no doubt other organizations - government and commercial) for reports to be issued in draft to allow early visibility to the sponsor and to allow obvious errors to be corrected before a report is published (and paid for). I do not mean that unsavoury statements are removed or toned down (although this can happen), but to ensure that it is factually correct. There is nothing sinister in this practice - although I am sure you will find one.
