HC Deb 17 July 1967 vol 750 cc192-3W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will withdraw his claim to Crown Privilege in respect of certain documents needed by Mr. Conway in the case of Conway versus Rimmer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I understand that Mr. Conway is to appeal to the House of Lords against the majority decision of the Court of Appeal upholding the legal validity of the claim of Crown privilege made in this case. In these circumstances, the outcome of the appeal, which is likely to be heard early next term, must be awaited.
