MR. FIELD
( Dublin, St. Patrick)
To ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state what contravention of the Official Secrets Act necessitated the Comptroller and Auditor-General recently drawing the special attention of the members of his Department to certain office rules prohibiting information to the public press under pain of dismissal. (Answered by Mr. Runciman.) I am not aware that there was any contravention of the Official Secrets Act.
