§ Mr HaselhurstTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the subjects on which he is not prepared to answer parliamentary questions.
§ Mr. Brooke[holding answer 3 November 1989]: It is not possible to provide a definitive and exhaustive list of subjects within my responsibilities on which I might exceptionally decline to answer questions on grounds other than cost and commercial confidence. Each question tabled to me will continue to be considered on its merits.
