HC Deb 21 February 1983 vol 37 c366W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what parliamentary questions it is his practice to answer in relation to the defence of the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Blaker

All questions which have not already been answered this Session and which fall within the responsibility of the Department and which can be answered without disproportionate expense. The answers must, of course, be consistent with the demands of national security, and commercial and international confidentiality.
