The answer is The integrity of this company places important on demand for honest, loyal and brilliance staff. These are the qualities that I have to protect the integrity the company and not dishonesty or being a liar. Therefore the answer is no.

Something like, I believe this company is founded on intergrity, trust... so the question is would this company ever give me a reason to have lie on its behalf.

I will say

I believe certain situations call for certain actions but whatever the case, my reaction would be in the best interest of the company both in the short term and long term.

It is a simple test.

You cannot lie to protect integrity. Integrity that requires a lie for protection is no longer integrity.

My answer would be thus:
' In applying to work for this great organisation, I have carefully reviewed the mission and vision of the founding fathers and their quest for excellence. I do believe that if I do my job as it is expected, there would not be a need to tell a lie or falsify information. Having that in mind, I would ensure that all non disclosure agreements are fully upheld whilst I perform my job in the most efficient of manners'

Its a tricky question and it requires a more tricky answer. From personal experience, all I did was to answer that I will never do anything that will put the company in harm's way. The interviewer asked further to be specific Yes or No but I still maintained my answer.

lie is bad. It is not advised to lie at all. I just lied last night over very little thing that has no value even if i told the truth. I am still feeling bad within myself why i lied. we all are liars tho according to the Bible. But, try you best not to lie
