HC Deb 25 October 1993 vol 230 c493W
35. Mr. Mullin

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what representations he has received regarding disclosure by freemasons in public life; and what action he has taken.

Mr. David Davis

Apart from representations by the hon. Member, my office has received six letters on this subject. The civil service management code has been amended to identify freemasonry as a possible conflict of interest. A copy is in the Library of the House.
