HC Deb 05 July 1979 vol 969 c677W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangement exists for the briefing of press correspondents by his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Pym

A variety of methods are adopted for keeping members of the press and media informed on defence matters. These arrangements take account both of the requirements of the press and of the interests of the Services and the Ministry of Defence as a whole.
