HC Deb 26 January 1998 vol 305 c47W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will release for public scrutiny the files held by MI5 relating to the Zinoviev letter. [24747]

Mr. Straw

The Security Service recently released its records dating from 1909 to 1918 to the Public Records Office. Work has now started within the Service on the review of its files relating to the Second World War, and in due course attention will turn to the records surviving from the inter war period.
