HC Deb 25 July 1983 vol 46 cc352-3W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether it is normal practice to require members of a health monitoring team investigating hospitals to sign a document acknowledging that they are bound by the Official Secrets Act.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I am advised that members of the development team for the mentally handicapped and the health advisory service have always been asked to sign the Official Secrets Act. I will review the need for this practice.
