Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on Intelligence and Security Committee.

Intelligence and Security Committee

I welcome what the right hon. and learned Gentleman has said about this important matter. When the Select Committee on Home Affairs has sought evidence from the head of MI5 in the past, we have had to travel to its headquarters for a private briefing, sometimes with darkened windows. I welcome what he said about the fact that the heads of those agencies will be giving evidence to his Committee in public so that they can be cross-examined. Does he know when the first such sitting might be?
