HC Deb 16 November 1983 vol 48 c455W
Mr. Latham

asked the Prime Minister whether she will set out in tabular form, for each Government Department as appropriate, the full list of occasions since May 1979 when internal classified documents have been published or broadcast in the press or media and she or other Ministers have ordered an internal inquiry into the unauthorised circulation of the documents; on which of these occasions police assistance was sought; in which cases the inquiry identified a person or persons allegedly responsible; what disciplinary action was taken in each case; and whether she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

It is my practice not to disclose information about investigations of this kind, for reasons which I am sure my hon. Friend will understand.
