Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Confidence in the Media and Police.


Public Confidence in the Media and Police

I must challenge the Prime Minister on the accuracy of one of his assertions. He said that nobody raised Andy Coulson's conduct with him while he worked for the Prime Minister. I did, in a letter on 4 October last year, after new allegations that he had listened to tapes of intercepted voicemail messages came through. I said in the letter that this cast doubt on the accuracy of Mr Coulson's statement. I am still waiting for a reply.
