HC Deb 30 June 1987 vol 118 c64W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister for what reason information in the report by Ministry of Defence civil servants, on the costs of Trident, prepared on the instructions of Sir Robert Armstrong, designed for an incoming Labour Government was given to The Independent newspaper in the first week of June.

Mr. Wakeham

I have been asked to reply.

None of the material prepared for any incoming Government has been made public. The Independent newspaper approached the Ministry of Defence in early June with questions about Trident. It was given only information already publicly available.
