Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.


Human Rights

Ultimately, the statement to which my hon. and learned Friend refers was self-serving. Only by checking the basis of the review can we establish whether there is a factual basis for the assertion in the subsequent document that there is a risk-averse culture in the Home Office. Simply saying so does not make it so; one needs to be able to test the evidence and that we have been unable to do.
