Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. It occurred during Urgent question on Gary McKinnon (Extradition).


Gary McKinnon (Extradition)

I think that they are reasonable actions. As for whether we would be in exactly in the same position if someone had been hacking into the United Kingdom's defences over a 12-month period, with the same effect and at that particular time, and if that person had left the messages that were left at that particular time, I am absolutely sure that Members would be outraged if the United States refused to extradite the person responsible to this country.
