HC Deb 16 November 1983 vol 48 cc454-5W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister by what authority Sir Nicholas Henderson used unpublished diplomatic and intelligence material for an article published in The Economist of 12 November relating to diplomatic exchanges during the Falklands conflict.

The Prime Minister

The initiative in writing this article was Sir Nicholas Henderson's alone. In accordance with normal procedures, he consulted officials about certain points reflecting material to which he had access during his time as ambassador in Washington.
