HC Deb 09 December 1998 vol 322 cc199-200W
Mr. Robert Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the special advisers in his Department and the issues on which they specialise; and to what level they have been security cleared. [62832]

Mr. Mandelson

I have two special advisers, Benjamin Wegg-Prosser and Dan Cony. They advise me and my colleagues on the full range of issues for which we are responsible.

Special Advisers are subject to the usual security clearance arrangements. It is not appropriate to give details about particular individuals' level of security clearance.
