Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on Intelligence and Security Committee.


Intelligence and Security Committee

My right hon. Friend talks about the importance of the Committee gaining the trust of the wider world. As he points out, the Committee is the only mechanism that Parliament has to hold the security agencies to account. There is widespread anxiety among the public that information obtained by UK security services has been used by other countries in committing torture against espionage suspects. Will he report to Parliament his Committee's view of such allegations?
