Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on National Security.


National Security

I welcome the Prime Minister’s proposals today—in particular, the funding of the new Arabic channel by the BBC—but an extension of the 28-day limit is a question not just of getting consensus in the House, but of engaging with communities that will be disproportionately affected by any increase. When will the Prime Minister and other Ministers begin that consultation process?
