§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the Ministers who have received public funds for approved work on their private residences arising from their ministerial duties.
§ Mr. HowardI can answer only in respect of my own Department. There has been no such expenditure on the homes of current DOE Ministers other than strictly for security purposes. It is not in the public interest to disclose or aid the identification of security arrangements relating to public figures.
