Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether a restricted circulation copy of the leaked internal Government document on marches was made available to the Anglo-Irish secretariat; if the proposed inquiry into the leaked document will be authorised to investigate Irish civil servants and Irish Ministers associated with the Anglo-Irish secretariat in Northern Ireland; and if she will make a statement. [9188]
§ Marjorie MowlamThe leaked internal document dealing with marches was copied to the British side of the Anglo-Irish secretariat. In common with established practice regarding protectively marked British material, it was not made available to the Irish side, so no question of involving Irish Ministers or civil servants arises.
