Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 September 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Phone Tapping.
Phone Tapping
As I indicated earlier, such operational matters about whether to investigate particular individuals are for the police. We should jealously guard the operational independence of the police. I say to the hon. Lady, and to any other right hon. or hon. Members on the Labour Benches who think that I as Home Secretary should take it upon myself to tell members of the police force who they should or should not investigate, that that is a very slippery slope down which neither I nor this Government intend to go.
