The £30m (€36m) investigation looked at alleged security lapses and allegations of an official plot to have Wright killed because of the danger he posed to the peace process.

Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson said the finsings would be released on September 14 and did not pose a threat to the lives of individuals included.
