Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Newspapers: Surveillance Methods.


Newspapers: Surveillance Methods

My Lords, that is an extremely good question. I think that they should all be told. It will be something that we will certainly pursue to see how the Metropolitan Police takes this forward. It is an operational matter, but instinctively it seems to me that people ought to know if this happened. I would be very unhappy to think that people were not being told, just because they were not quite sure of some of the detail of the information. I will pursue this but, in the final analysis, it is a matter for the Metropolitan Police Service.
