Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Justice and Security Green Paper.

Justice and Security Green Paper

There will be nervousness at the use of special advocates in cases such as those of the Guantanamo detainees or in inquests. Does the Secretary of State agree that the most effective way of stopping such cases coming forward is to ensure that international law is observed, that torture is never condoned implicitly or explicitly and that our security services are more effectively monitored so that we can always be certain about the probity of their activities?
