HC Deb 28 January 1988 vol 126 c313W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Prime Minister what evidence she has as to the extent of public support for more stringent protection of official secrets.

The Prime Minister

As my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary has said, we shall be bringing forward proposals for the reform of section 2 of the Official Secrets Act 1911 which are effective, enforceable and reasonable. I believe we have general public support for that objective.
