HC Deb 26 March 2001 vol 365 cc527-8W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what representations led him to suspend JS DC1 88/00. [155584]

Mr. Spellar

Representations were received from solicitors acting for the United Grand Lodge of England. I subsequently authorised a temporary withdrawal of the Instruction concerned pending a review of policy towards societies such as Freemasons.
