Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Whitsun Adjournment.
Whitsun Adjournment
Does my hon. Friend agree that the idea that Members of Parliament cannot be trusted with what is called ““secret information”” is sometimes used as an excuse? I have been a member of the Defence Committee for the past seven years, and my experience is that we get access to far more classified information when we go to the US—to an extent that would give civil servants at the Ministry of Defence apoplexy.
