Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Confidence in the Media and the Police.


Public Confidence in the Media and the Police

My Lords, many in the House have a great deal of sympathy for the noble Lord, Lord Prescott, as one of the victims of the hacking scandal. However, he belittles himself by making these rather fetid political points. If he was writing to anybody in the summer of 2009, it should of course have been the then Prime Minister, asking him why he had failed to do anything or to respond to any of the reports from the Select Committees, the Information Commissioner and all those other people who raised these issues.
