Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Crispin Blunt and David Winnick

Tuesday 11th January 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr Blunt]

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for that suggestion, and we will examine the issue.

[Mr David Winnick (Walsall North) (Lab)]

In view of the case involving six defendants that was dropped yesterday, is the Secretary of State aware that there is a lot of disquiet about the crossing of the line from a police constable going undercover for seven years and his inciting illegal action? Would it not be appropriate for a senior Minister, be it him or the Home Secretary, to make a statement to the House? As I have said, there is a good deal of concern and disquiet about what has occurred.
