Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Mull of Kintyre Review.


Mull of Kintyre Review

I hope that we have shown by our very approach to this subject that we are willing to do so. I was not willing to accept an assurance that everything had been checked and everything was fine, which was why we set up this inquiry in the first place. Too many experienced people in the House had spoken to me as we all discussed the matter and said that they felt intuitively unhappy and worried that an injustice had happened. It says a lot for Members of Parliament that when they intuitively felt that uncomfortable, we did not simply accept what had gone before but sought to take an independent and rigorous view of how it should be addressed.
