HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 c25W
Mr. David Young

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he takes to ensure the confidentiality of information relating to defence contracts; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The confidentiality of information in both security and commercial terms is governed by the relevant provisions of the standard conditions of Government contracts and, where appropriate, special conditions incorporated in defence contracts. The standard conditions of government contracts—form GC/Stores/1 is available to prospective contractors from Common Services (Publications and Stationery) 2b2, Ministry of Defence, Strathville Road, Wandsworth, London SW18 4QU.
