Proceeding contribution from Mark Durkan (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Detainee Inquiry.


Detainee Inquiry

The Secretary of State said that in pursuit of the Libyan allegations ““the agencies””, which I presume are the security agencies, ““will continue to review their records””, and that the Government will ensure that the process is ““thorough and comprehensive.”” Is there any room for independent oversight of that review by the agencies of their records and of any lack of records that might be identified? How exactly can he assure the House that that process will be thorough and comprehensive, as it seems that the subsequent police investigation will be entirely dependent upon it?
