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


Intelligence and Security Committee

The Chair of the Committee mentioned that before 1994, there was no debate—or at least no acceptance and acknowledgment by the Government of the day—of the security services. Does he accept that during the 1980s some of us pressed for parliamentary scrutiny and used every opportunity in debates to say that there should be such scrutiny by Members of Parliament?
