HC Deb 17 December 1993 vol 234 c954W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Prime Minister what is his policy towards the correction of answers given to Parliament where civil servants responsible for drafting, or Ministers or former Ministers have told the Scott inquiry that they were inaccurate.

The Prime Minister

Lord Justice Scott's inquiry is still in progress: his conclusions will be published in the inquiry's report. The Government will respond to the report when it is published and hon. Members will then be able to table questions on the report and on the Government's response.

Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Prime Minister what contact, either by written communication or telephone or telefax, his office has had with Mr. Frank Machon of Glasgow in regard to matters raised at the Scott inquiry.

The Prime Minister

Mr. Machon wrote to my office once during 1991, and once in 1992. In addition, the Member for Glasgow, Shettleston (Mr. Marshall) wrote on three occasions on Mr. Machon's behalf during 1992.
