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, as I said, the DPP has the CPS looking at this. The Met is also still looking at it, as was made clear in the last sentence of the Statement, and we know that the Culture, Media and Sport Committee is considering it. I believe that we need to sit back and allow those considerations to take place and we can then see how we move forward from there. At the moment, I do not think that it is appropriate to establish something such as a full inquiry.
