HC Deb 22 July 1999 vol 335 c606W
Mr. Woodward

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if he will make a statement on the rules concerning the carriage of ministerial red boxes by public transport. [91492]

Mr. Kilfoyle

Ministerial red boxes generally contain official papers or other material which may be sensitive or valuable and due care, therefore, needs to be given to their transportation. Where it is necessary to carry red boxes by public transport, they should be effectively disguised.
