Detail

"And some of the details would be kept detail from MPs while negotiations were ongoing, he said." (The Guardian.)

Isn't it a tautology used in the clause "And some of the details would be kept detail from MPs..."? (I can't figure out what it exactly means.)

Anonymous kept detail That phrase does not make sense to me; I suggest that it is a typographical error. 'Detail' should be deleted.
