Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on Intelligence and Security Committee.


Intelligence and Security Committee

That is a matter of judgment. Members of the Committee sign the Official Secrets Act and are subject to constraints when it comes to any criticism directed at them either collectively or individually. Based on my experience, however, I have never seen any action—or lack of action—on the part of the Committee which suggested a lack of independence of thought.
