HC Deb 10 January 1989 vol 144 c491W
Mr. Livingstone

To ask the Prime Minister (1) how many times since November 1987 she has met the staff counsellor for the security and intelligence services; and what items were discussed;

(2) when she next expects to receive a report from the staff counsellor for the security and intelligence services; and whether she will make it available to hon. Members.

The Prime Minister

I set out the arrangements for the staff counsellor for the security and intelligence services to report to me in my reply to my hon. Friend the member for Wycombe (Mr. Whitney) on 2 November 1987 at column512. There has been no change to those arrangements. It is not proposed that the staff counsellor's reports should be published or that details should be given about how he discharges his responsibilities.
