HC Deb 12 December 1986 vol 107 c314W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Attorney-General, pursuant In his reply to the hon. Member for Workington (Mr. Campbell-Savours) on 8 December, why he did not prosecute Granada Television under the Official Secrets Act 1911 (a) in July 1984 and (b) in December 1986 for broadcasting material confidential to the security services in the "World in Action" programme, "The Spy Who Never Was."

The Attorney-General

It would be inappropriate for me to comment on matters which are or may be at issue in the proceedings concerning the Peter Wright case in Australia while those proceedings continue.

Mr. Winnick

asked the Attorney-General if he is currently considering any other cases of alleged breLches of confidentiality by former members of the security services, in addition to those about which he has already informed the House; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

I am not currently considering any such cases in addition to those about which I have already informed the House.
