Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Public Confidence in the Media and Police.
Public Confidence in the Media and Police
I accept that there is a certain paradox involved here. The letter says:"““The reason that a new investigation has been commenced and the situation has subsequently changed so markedly””—" that is, since the advice given to me as Home Secretary—"““is that in January 2011 News International began to co-operate properly with the police. It is now evident that this was not the case beforehand.””" January 2011 was when Andy Coulson resigned. Does the Prime Minister think that that is just a coincidence?
