HC Deb 12 May 1978 vol 949 cc629-30W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the estimated cost of all prosecutions undertaken under the provisions of the Official Secrets Act during the last 10 years; and how much of that cost was not recovered from convicted defendants.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the cost of the various prosecutions under the Official Secrets Acts for the longest and most convenient period.

Mr. John

This information is not available, and an estimate could be attempted only at disproportionate cost.
