Mr. Charles Powell (Hansard, 2 February 1989)

HC Deb 02 February 1989 vol 146 c423 423

§ Q2. Mr. Dalyell
To ask the Prime Minister when she expects Mr. Charles Powell to end his term of service in her office.

§ The Prime Minister
In due course.

§ Mr. Dalyell
Does the Prime Minister recall that a Select Committee, chaired by a distinguished Conservative Privy Councillor, asserted that Mr. Powell was in a position to tell her about Sir Leon Brittan's role in the Westland affair on 7 January 1986? Did Mr. Powell really fail to tell her before the inquiry report was issued?

§ The Prime Minister
Clearly, the hon. Gentleman has nothing to add to his questions and speeches. I have nothing to add to my answers
