HC Deb 28 March 1957 vol 567 c147W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the report from his officials visiting the Leipzig Fair is considered confidential; and whether he will reconsider this decision and make the report available to Members of Parliament.

Mr. Ian Harvey

It is not the practice that reports such as this which are made by British representatives abroad for my right hon. and learned Friend's confidential information, should be made public. The Answer to the second part of the Question is therefore "No".
