HC Deb 22 October 2001 vol 373 cc15-6W
Mr. Salmond

To ask the Prime Minister if the information released by Her Majesty's Government to the British media, during an official briefing in Oman on 10 October 2001, entitled "Defeating Terrorism: Campaign Objectives" is identical to the document placed in the Library on 16 October, entitled "Defeating International Terrorism: Campaign Objectives".[9462]

The Prime Minister

Yes. The document was published on Tuesday 16 October by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary. It was made available to MPs and the media at the same time. However, the information and arguments in the document have been drawn on by Ministers and officials since it was first drawn up several weeks ago.
