§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what reply his Department sent to the letter dated 17 April 1982 from the Trustee Savings Bank central board which referred to the question of ownership of the Trustee Savings Bank and, in particular, to the legal opinion obtained by the board from John Murray, QC; and if he will publish the reply in the Official Report.
§ Mr. Ian StewartNeither the Treasury nor the central board has any record of a letter meeting the description 259W which the hon. Member gives. However, I would not in any case be prepared to publish documents relating to confidential discussions between the Treasury and other bodies.
