HC Deb 19 May 1997 vol 294 cc8-9W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will place in the Library all the papers and other documents relating to the dismissal of Derek Lewis; and if he will make a statement. [81]

Mr. Straw

It is not possible for me to meet my hon. Friend's request. I am not responsible to Parliament for events which took place under the last Administration; nor do I have access to their papers.
