Proceeding contribution from Gavin Shuker (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
In his statement, the Prime Minister said that ““if it turns out that I have been lied to, that would be the moment for a profound apology.”” I say this more in sadness than in anger, but is it not exactly such phrases that lead the public to hold our profession in contempt? I invite him now to give an apology, even if it might not be politically expedient.
