HC Deb 06 April 1987 vol 114 cc86-7W
Dr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how much it cost his Department to produce the leaflet, "20 Questions on Defence"; how many copies have been printed; what were their production costs; and how many copies have been issued to the public.

Mr. Stanley

I will answer shortly.

Dr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will provide the evidence on which he bases the second sentence in the 13th section of his Department's leaflet "20 Questions on Defence", dealing with cruise missiles.

Mr. Stanley

The unclassified evidence for this statement is set out in the course of paragraphs 3 to 18 of Defence open government document 87/1 "Trident and the Alternative". The unclassified evidence is in turn based on a recent classified updating by the Department's senior civilian and service staffs of material in Defence open government documents 80/23 and 82/1.
