Proceeding contribution from Ann Clwyd (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

Two years ago in this House, I made this point:"““Given Mr. Coulson's dubious reputation, none of us on this side of the House can feel comfortable while he is around to wander the corridors here. While he is under suspicion, can we not at least take his pass away from him?””—[Official Report, 9 July 2009; Vol. 495, c. 1137.]" His pass was not taken away from him, and he was able to wander freely around this place. Since the Prime Minister obviously cannot smell a rat when he has one in his midst, will he tell us whether he has any other dodgy characters in No. 10 that we should beware of?
