Proceeding contribution from Andrew Bridgen (Conservative) 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
Does my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister believe it to be a coincidence that, despite numerous assurances from the then Labour Government that Mr Ronnie Biggs would remain in prison until he died, the then Justice Secretary, the right hon. Member for Blackburn (Mr Straw), conducted a U-turn and released Mr Biggs on compassionate grounds—mysteriously just weeks before Mr Megrahi was released on the same grounds?
