HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 c973W
Mr. Bermingham

To ask the Prime Minister what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on providing in full the information sought by hon. Members in parliamentary questions.

The Prime Minister

Except for matters which are confidential or on which successive Governments have refused to answer questions upon grounds of public policy, or when a reply is not given on grounds of disproportionate cost, answers should give the information sought and should be accurate and truthful and not misleading.
