HC Deb 17 December 1992 vol 216 c351W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will amend citizens charters to allow citizens a general right of access to manual files about themselves; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

I am currently considering ways of providing greater access to personal records held by government. I shall publish the results of my review on openness in the early part of next year.
