Proceeding contribution from Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.
Terrorism Bill
Of course there are people who know. But I beg to differ with the noble Baroness. Of course I knew what she said. What we are talking about is exactly methodology. I do not know whether the noble Baroness or those who are her sources have been taken through certain protocols to which one signs up for life. Those of us who have know exactly what I am talking about. That sort of information, believe you me, I would not impart to another soul. I would not do that. If anybody has told the noble Baroness those things they should not have done and they have behaved disgracefully in doing so. The noble Baroness may smile and laugh about it but I think that the security of this country and those protocols are enormously important. She may think they are a bit of a joke. We beg to differ. The fact is that these are enormously important issues. There are real secrets about how this information is gathered. Long may they stay secret.
