HC Deb 29 April 1980 vol 983 c455W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will name the trader who requested and obtained the suppression by Customs officers of information pertaining to the import of sperm whale oil.

Mr. Peter Rees

[pursuant to his reply, 28 April 1980, c. 332]: The information was withheld to safeguard confidential information about the trader's commercial activities, and the disclosure of the trader's identity would also represent a breach of confidence.
