Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Escape of Taliban Prisoners.


Escape of Taliban Prisoners

Clearly, at this stage, not having the same experience as my hon. Friend, I am not able to go into detail about what equipment was available to protect security. The basic point is that if people have expended effort in detaining people to pass them into a secure system, the responsibility we owe to all those to whom those people might be a threat is to make sure that they are secure. It will be part of the investigation to look not only at what has been done to ensure security previously, but at what might be done in future to reinforce that and to make sure that in future, secure places are indeed secure.
