Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. It occurred during Urgent question on Gary McKinnon (Extradition).
Gary McKinnon (Extradition)
I recognise the very difficult dilemma faced by my right hon. Friend, but is it not about time that we asked our American friends—I use the word "friends" deliberately—to examine the case again in the context of the benefits they have accrued through Gary McKinnon's work? Had he not masterfully broken through their security systems, those systems would be vulnerable today. It is about time the Americans recognised that. I am not in favour of people "testing" my burglar alarm, but in this instance Gary McKinnon has done a huge favour to the American state. ...He did not steal anything. ...He did not steal anything.
