Public Interest Immunity Certificates (Hansard, 18 February 1994)

HC Deb 18 February 1994 vol 237 c1036W 1036W

§ Mr. Meacher
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which Ministers, and on what occasion and for what reasons, have signed public interest immunity certificates since 1979.

§ Mr. Goodlad
No central records have been kept of public interest immunity certificates signed by Foreign and Commonwealth Office Ministers. I regret that to compile a list of such certificates going back to 1979 would involve disproportionate cost.
