HC Deb 13 December 1966 vol 738 cc48-9W
Sir T. Beamish

Q.7. asked the Prime Minister what responsibility for the security services he has given to the Paymaster-General.

The Prime Minister

None. The arrangements for Ministerial responsibility for the security service remain as I described them in my reply to the hon. Member for Chigwell (Mr. Biggs-Davison) on 6th December. The functions of my right hon. Friend the Paymaster-General are confined to advising me on such questions of security falling within my responsibility as I may refer to him from time to time.—[Vol. 737, c. 277.]
