§ Mr. Ronald Brownasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he authorised the publication in the Daily Express on 2nd March of information requested by the hon. Member for Hackney, South and Shoreditch in his Written Question for answer on the same day relating to Army bands; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Robert C. BrownI have been asked to reply.
No such publication was authorised, but my Department will, of course, normally answer a factual question from any source.
