Proceeding contribution from Hugh Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on HMP Woodhill.


HMP Woodhill

During her statement, the Home Secretary said that ““none of the senior officers responsible for authorising the surveillance knew at the time that the Sadiq Khan listed as a friend was a Member of Parliament.”” Given the serious nature of the issues involved, including national security, and the fact that being a Member of Parliament is not notoriously a particularly covert occupation, is that not in itself a cause for genuine concern?
