Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Prisons: Woodhill.


Prisons: Woodhill

My Lords, that is a very good question. I have read out the inquiry’s terms of reference; it will investigate the circumstances relating to the visits to Barbar Ahmed at HMP Woodhill by Sadiq Khan in May 2005 and June 2006, establish whether the visits were subject to any form of surveillance—and, if so, by whose authority and with whose knowledge—and report those findings. As I said, Sir Christopher will do his best to complete that task within two weeks and then a further Statement will be made. I do not think I can add anything more to that.
