Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
We have taken steps to improve the accountability of the security and intelligence services. There will be further steps in that direction in the Constitutional Renewal Bill, which has been published in draft. As I mentioned in response to an earlier question, there will be a possibility for pre-appointment hearings by Select Committees, which are an important measure of accountability. I have heard my hon. Friend's points, and I will bring them to the attention of the relevant Ministers.
