Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in pursuit of their policy of open government, they will publish all details of questions put to, discussions with and results from opinion and attitude surveys conducted by them at taxpayers' expense.

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

The presumption is that, unless there are particular reasons why confidentiality is necessary, the material referred to will be publicly available.
