HL Deb 16 March 1995 vol 562 cc52-3WA
Lord Craig of Hadley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have investigated the source of articles in the Daily Telegraph of 9th February 1995 which gave details of confidential audit reports into the refurbishment of Haymes Garth and other official residences before the Ministry of Defence paper on Official Service Residences was released to Parliament on 10th February 1995; whether the person or persons responsible were identified and what further action has been taken with the Ministry of Defence to stop unauthorised information from being leaked to the media.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Henley):

My department is investigating whether confidential information on these matters was released by unauthorised means. If the results of the investigation show that management action is necessary, it will be taken.
