§ Harry CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs pursuant to his answer of 25 March 2003,Official Report, column 120W, on Iraq, which parts of the Iraqi declaration he deems of such a nature as to be justified for non public disclosure under exemption 1 (c) of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information. [107288]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienExemption 1(c) of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information covers documents provided in confidence by other governments, international courts and international organisations.
The Iraqi declaration was provided to the UK Government in confidence by the United Nations. It follows, therefore, that the exemption covers that declaration in its entirety.
