§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, pursuant to his oral answer of 11 December 1997, Official Report, column 1193, on access to information concerning grants to farmers and landowners, if access to the nature and the amounts of grant or subsidy will be included. [21249]
§ Dr. David ClarkAll such information held by the public authorities concerned would be within the scope of the proposed Freedom of Information Act set out in the White Paper "Your Right to Know". Whether the information could be disclosed in particular cases would depend on whether it passes the substantial harm and public interest tests integral to the Act's access provisions.
