§ Mr. Martenasked the Prime Minister why Miss Helen Mary Keenan was employed in the Cabinet Office before the vetting procedures were completed; and if he will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterI would refer the hon. Member to the Report of the Security Commission (Cmnd. 3365) which says that proper steps were duly taken to apply vetting procedures to Miss Keenan but that, in the normal process, these quite properly had not reached their final stage by the time she resigned and left the Office.
