Lord Tebbit
asked Her Majesty's Government:Pursuant to their Answer of 30th June whether there is a difference between a statement by a Minister which represents government policy and one which is consistent with government policy.
The Earl of Caithness: The expression "represents government policy" might be reserved for comprehensive explanations of specific policy, while the expression "consistent with government policy" could cover more general remarks.
