Oral Answers to Questions — Environment – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 28 March 1973.
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the report of the working party of the Clean Air Council on confidentiality of information relating to emissions, effluents and discharges.
Next month, Sir.
I am glad. Will the hon. Gentleman take speedy steps to inform himself and the House of its contents? Without anticipating its contents, does the hon. Gentleman agree that even Lucrezia Borgia never claimed a right of privacy for her recipes?
I am not able to advise the hon. and learned Gentleman on the habits of Lucrezia Borgia, with which he is no doubt more familiar than I am. On the first part of the hon. Gentleman's question, the answer is "Yes".
