HC Deb 15 December 1986 vol 107 cc373-4W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the book "Their Trade is Treachery" was referred to the D-notice Committee for consideration by all its members.

Mr. Stanley

[pursuant to his reply, 12 December 1986, c. 310]: The satisfactory working of the D-notice system, which is voluntary, is dependent on authors and publishers knowing that their discussions with the Defence, Press and Broadcasting Committee are regarded by the Committee as taking place in confidence. For this reason, it is not our practice to state which books have or have not been brought to the notice of the Committee.
