HC Deb 09 December 1993 vol 234 c359W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the operation of his 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. Gummer

A large number of staff in the Department handle documents which may be regarded as sensitive. There is no special unit; all staff are required to handle sensitive documents according to standard rules.
