§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the President of the Board of Trade for what civil nuclear matters for which he has responsibility it is his policy not to release information to Parliament on grounds(a) of national security (b) that it is not in the national interest (c) of commercial confidentiality or (d) other criteria; and if he will review the criteria currently adopted for non-disclosure of information on nuclear issues.
§ Mr. EggarDecisions on whether information on civil nuclear matters can be released to Parliament are taken on the merits of the case. It is, therefore, not possible to define in general terms matters on which it would be inappropriate to release information.
