Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger has told MPs it is "impossible to assess" whether publishing top-secret documents leaked by Edward Snowden damaged UK national security.
The 59-year-old told the Home Affairs Committee his paper had only published 1% of the information contained in the documents obtained from the former NSA contractor, but did not reveal where the files are.
And he denied control of the data had been "lost" after it was shared through Fed Ex with The New York Times newspaper.
Mr Rusbridger and The Guardian newspaper have faced criticism over the publication, with the heads of GCHQ, MI5 and MI6 claiming the information has aided terrorists.
Others have claimed the move may have been illegal.
The revelations were disclosed to The Guardian, The Washington Post and Germany's Der Spiegel.
Mr Rusbridger, who has been editor of The Guardian since 1995, will be followed by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and Cressida Dick, Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
