HC Deb 10 November 1989 vol 159 c800W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Prime Minister what guidance she issues about when advisers(a) should and (b) should not speak in public.

The Prime Minister

All civil servants are subject to rules of conduct which are set out in the Civil Service pay and conditions of service code. Similar rules apply to other advisers. General guidance on the application of those rules to the question of speaking in public is given in chapter 6 of the personnel management handbook, copies of which are available in the House Libraries.
