HC Deb 25 April 1984 vol 58 c485W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Prime Minister what estimates she made of the costs of preparing the first answer in Official Report, 9 April, column 5.

The Prime Minister

No detailed estimates were made since it was clear that disproportionate costs would have been involved in answering the question. In any event, as I pointed out in my reply on 9 April, considerations of commercial and diplomatic confidentiality would normally precluded publication of the information requested.
