Proceeding contribution from Nick Palmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Prisoner Release Decisions.
Prisoner Release Decisions
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the parallel that I made was not between general sickness and crime, but between the political process that we all accept is associated with jockeying for position, point scoring and so on, and the rational process that we hope is made in all such situations? Does he not agree that the furore about the Megrahi case was slightly unedifying, and that few felt that the outcome was entirely unrelated to political considerations?
