Justice and Security Bill [Lords]

Debate between Mark Durkan and Hazel Blears

Tuesday 18th December 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mark Durkan]

My right hon. Friend referred to US concerns based on the Binyam Mohamed case. Does she not, and do they not, recognise that no disclosure of information was ordered by the courts here and that the disclosure actually happened in US proceedings, not here?

[Hazel Blears]

I think the Americans have a great deal of concern about many legal jurisdictions when it results in information subject to the control principle being disclosed in open court.
