Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 September 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Phone Tapping.
Phone Tapping
Does my right hon. Friend agree that the straightforward fact is that the Metropolitan police can investigate, the Crown Prosecution Service can advise that there should be a charge, and prosecuting counsel can draft an indictment only if there is supporting evidence? Does not this all turn on a simple point? If The New York Times or any individuals believe that they have new evidence, is it not simply a matter of their making that evidence available for the Metropolitan police to investigate and allowing the police to get on with their job?
