The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether Ministry of Defence officials sent an instruction to all service legal departments to defend claims against them "without limit of cost", as reported in the Today newspaper on 23rd July 1994 and if such an instruction was issued why was it deemed necessary.

Lord Henley

No such instruction has been given.
