§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all inquiries which took place arising from the Falklands conflict, including those conducted at Northwood, concerning alleged breaches of the Official Secrets Act.
§ Mr. HeseltineThere have been six inquiries involving my Department about the possible deliberate and unauthorised disclosure of official information, arising from the Falklands campaign. Two of these cases concerned Lance Corporal Aldridge and Mr. Ponting: for the reasons given today by my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General in answer to a related question from the hon. Gentleman, it would be wrong for me to make public information about the others.
