HC Deb 06 December 1993 vol 234 c99W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if she will make a statement about the operation of her Department's sensitive documents unit; how many staff are employed in its operation; and approximately how many documents per annum come within its purview.

Mr. Jack

My Department has no such unit. Documents generated by my Department which are given security markings are kept under routine review by the originating units, which must ensure that such documents are declassified or downgraded as necessary.
