Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) 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
We have heard that there was a culture of too much closeness between those in power and those in News International. Did the Committee hear evidence that a political steer was given to the police to direct them away from investigations? I say that in the light of the fact that Members on the Opposition Front Bench today seem to think it appropriate for the Prime Minister to engage in operational discussions with the police while they are carrying out an inquiry.
