HL Deb 15 May 1987 vol 487 c823WA
Lord Chelwood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What was the outcome of the surveillance by the security services of some 12 Labour Members of Parliament in 1961 at the request of the leader of the Labour Party at that time.

The Earl of Caithness

It has been the policy of successive governments not to disclose information about the operations of the security service or to comment on particular allegations that are made about its operations, irrespective of whether the allegations are true or false.
