§ Mr. McNamaraTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what instructions he has given to his Department's officials on limitations on the disclosure 651W of documents requested by (a) the investigation team of His Honour Judge Corey and (b) the Inquiry team of Mr. Justice Barry. [116868]
§ Mr. IngramI believe my hon. Friend refers to the Cory investigation into six cases where allegations of collusion by security forces have been made and the Barron inquiry into the Dublin/Monaghan and Dundalk bombings.
The Government are co-operating fully with Justice Cory's investigation and the inquiry of Mr. Justice Barron. In doing so, the Government must take account of its obligations to prevent real harm to national security and to safeguard the individuals right to life.
