HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 c364W
Mr. Litherland

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to ensure that all submissions to the Widdicombe committee are made available to the public.

Mrs. Rumbold

The Widdicombe report explains that the written evidence submitted to the Inquiry has been placed on deposit at the Public Record Office where it is open to public inspection, with the exception of those submissions which were expressly made to the committee in confidence. In addition, several of the main submissions have been separately published by the authors themselves.
