HC Deb 24 January 1984 vol 52 c453W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether it was with his authority that Commander Christopher Wreford Brown, DSO, gave an interview on the sinking of the Belgrano to the Liverpool Daily Echo published on 15 December 1983.

Mr. Stanley

The hon. Member is referring to a routine interview given to the local press as is the normal practice when Her Majesty's ships visit United Kingdom ports and for which specific authority is not required.
