Proceeding contribution from Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council and North Africa.
EU Council and North Africa
I am grateful for an advance copy of the statement. The Prime Minister has long taken a different view on compassionate release from the Scottish Government or international observers such as Nelson Mandela. What is new, however, is that these official UK documents prove that as of autumn 2008, UK Labour Ministers supported Mr Megrahi being released to Libya, so they were saying one thing in public and the opposite in private. Is that not rank hypocrisy?
