§ 2. Mr. DalyellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what evidence he has given to the Scott inquiry.
§ Mr. HeseltineMy Department has supplied all the documents requested by Lord Justice Scott. They amount to more than 10,000 pages.
§ Mr. DalyellTo help informed debate, could the President of the Board of Trade tell the House of Commons whether he has admitted to Lord Justice Scott that, when he put pen to his signature on the public immunity certificate, that could have sent Matrix Churchill directors to prison, he knew perfectly well that Paul Henderson had been supplying intelligence information to the British Government?
§ Mr. HeseltineThe hon. Member will know that Lord Justice Scott is examining those matters and that, if he considers it appropriate, he will examine whatever I did or said at the time. I am content to await his further good advice.
