Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Governance of Britain.

Governance of Britain

I should have said that the consultation period on all the documents ends on 17 January, so it is pretty brief. I entirely understand the right hon. Gentleman's concern. My rooms have always faced Parliament square, and I find it difficult to conduct some meetings. I applaud the right to protest; as the House knows, I have used it myself on many occasions...How does the hon. Gentleman know that? I shall give him my biography later. I have protested rather more recently than that; we regularly marched against the terrible Conservative Government. I have not marched against this Government, however. I understand the right hon. Gentleman's point and hope that my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary does too.
