Proceeding contribution from Damian Collins (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
In the Cabinet Secretary's report, he notes that the former Justice Secretary, the right hon. Member for Blackburn (Mr Straw),"““contemplated the merits of offering the Scottish Government a letter in support of a Libyan request””" to release al-Megrahi. Does the Prime Minister agree that that was an odd thing to contemplate if it was clear that there was a Government policy not to put any pressure on the Scottish Executive?
