Proceeding contribution from Lord King of Bridgwater (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Intelligence and Security Committee Annual Report for 2008–09 (Cm 7807).

Intelligence and Security Committee Annual Report for 2008–09 (Cm 7807)

The degree to which questioning is robust depends on the information available to members of the committee. The provision of that information, certainly in our time, was greatly assisted by an investigator who worked for the committee. Since we had started along that road, I expected the strength of that part of the committee’s support to have been increased. Does the committee now have an investigator? The report states that it does, but my understanding is that although somebody has just been appointed, the announcement has not yet been made.
