§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many public interest immunity certificates he, or his predecessors, have been asked to sign in each year since 1979; how many he or his predecessors declined to sign; and if he will make a statement of his policy on signing public interest immunity certificates.
§ Mr. RedwoodThere have been no requests to Welsh Secretaries for public interest immunity certificates to be signed since 1979. The signing of such certificates depends on the facts of each case.
