Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what guidelines were issued to BBC Radio in England and Wales for reporting of matters concerning the conflict in the Gulf.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Two types of guidelines have been produced. The MOD "Media Ground Rules" have been issued to British journalists in the Gulf, and "Guidance on the Release of Information" has been issued to media editors in the United Kingdom. Copies of both these documents were placed in the Libraries of both Houses on 9 January.
