Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Detainee Inquiry.


Detainee Inquiry

Our intelligence agencies do a hugely important job for this country, but it is essential that they operate and are seen to operate within the highest standards of human rights ethics and a proper legal framework. Does the Secretary of State agree that it is essential in the current circumstances to take forward his proposals in the Green Paper on justice and security to strengthen the role of the Intelligence and Security Committee so that we can have the legal powers and the necessary resources to be able to scrutinise fully the work of our intelligence agencies?
