HC Deb 07 July 1982 vol 27 cc129-30W
40. Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects to take a decision on publishing the records of the tripartite security working group in 1951 which are held in the Public Record Office and have not yet been released.

Mr. Hurd

Because of their sensitivity these records were not transferred to the Public Record Office and are being retained within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. It is not possible to forecast when they will be released for public inspection.
