HC Deb 07 July 1977 vol 934 cc603-4W
Q12. Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of his recent statements to the House that investigations by the security authorities into alleged South African involvement in British political affairs have been taken as far as possible and that he does not envisage further action without fresh evidence, he will now give details of the factual basis of his statement to the hon. Member for Blaby (Mr. Lawson) on 20th May 1976 that there was no doubt that as the investigation preceded, and depsite the persiflage that surrounded much of it, it would be found that attacks were being made against individual members of the Liberal Party.—[Official Report, c. 1704.]

The Prime Minister

It is the accepted practice not to reveal information of this nature.
