HC Deb 23 June 1988 vol 135 c1293

Ordered, That European Community Documents Nos. 6878/86 and 7946/87 on roadworthiness testing be referred to a Standing Committee on European Community Documents.—[Mr. Alan Howarth.]

Mr. Madden

I am very sorry to raise a point of order, Mr. Speaker, and I will not detain the House, but it relates directly to the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire, North-East (Mr. Barnes) about petitions presented to Parliament and referred to Ministers. Will you look into the situation very carefully and instruct Ministers and Departments that they should not divulge the names anti addresses on such petitions to any third party?

Mr. Speaker

No names are ever disclosed by the Clerks or by Departments of the House to anyone else.
