§ Dr. WrightTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which of his Department's administrative manuals and internal guidance are now made public; and which remain private. [14021]
§ Sir John WheelerThe Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Departments have many hundreds of administrative manuals and internal guidance leaflets and could provide the information requested only at disproportionate cost.
However, the Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Departments are all committed to the code of practice on access to government information and have agreed to make available on request as much information as possible except where release could prejudice any matters which should properly be kept confidential under annexe A, part II of the code.
