HC Deb 02 June 1992 vol 208 cc527-8W
26. Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will set out the reasons of confidentiality which prevent him from disclosing the amount paid by his Department to the Duchy of Cornwall for the use of moorland and farming land on the Dartmoor national park for live firing.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Our normal practice is not to disclose the amount payable for individual contracts between the Department and third parties on grounds of commercial confidentiality.
