HC Deb 02 April 1958 vol 585 c1215
44. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Minister of Defence what talks he has had with hon. Members on the Government side of the House on the subject of defence; to what extent they have been furnished with information of a confidential character; and what similar facilities will be provided for other hon. Members.

Mr. Sandys

I have, at different times, had private talks with hon. Members on both sides of the House who have asked to see me; and I have given them such confidential information as I thought appropriate.

Mr. Shinwell

Does the right hon. Gentleman propose to proceed with these conversations, if he is asked by hon. Members from either side of the House, and to discuss information about defence? Will he see them at any time?

Mr. Sandys

I am always completely accessible.
