Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Abu Hamza.
Abu Hamza
In a moment. The hon. Gentleman lectures me about the importance of urgency. I said to him that he should put down his detailed questions, and that I would give him answers. Some weeks later, I can read about our meeting on the website, but I have yet to receive a letter with the detailed questions. Instead, we have a repeat of the same allegations. They are a misrepresentation based on a misunderstanding of the law, as I have set out clearly in the House of Commons Chamber and in a written document placed in the Library in reply to the hon. Member for Chipping Barnet. I repeat again: there was no illegal act, there was no illegal transfer of funds. The continued allegation that there was undermines the standing of the police and the security services who are responsible for such matters, and the wider credibility of the British regime against terror. On that basis, I am happy to give way.
