Confidential Papers (Disposal)

HC Deb 28 January 1985 vol 72 cc10-1W

Mr. Shersby

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will consider the introduction of a confidential waste disposal system similar to that operating in the Civil Service for hon. Members who have to dispose of confidential papers they may receive as members of Select Committees.

Mr. Biffen

The Clerk of the Select Committee concerned will always arrange for the shredding of any confidential Committee papers which a Member may wish to dispose of.
