To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many files marked "Not for National Audit Office eyes" are held by the Department; and how many are marked "Not for Public Accounts Committee eyes".

Mr. Gummer

The only category of file not available for National Audit Office view are those which relate to relations between the Department and the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee. This is fully in accordance with the standing agreement between the Treasury and the National Audit Office. This applies to 214 files out of 1.4 million.
