Justice and Security Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Hazel Blears (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Justice and Security Bill [Lords].

I pay tribute to the right hon. and learned Gentleman for his leadership of the Intelligence and Security Committee. I do not think we would have quite such robust proposals had it not been for his work.

May I remind the right hon. and learned Gentleman of one small point? As the Bill is drafted, it would prevent the Committee from examining ongoing operations. If the Government were to ask us to consider a matter that was ongoing and not retrospective, that would be forbidden. The Bill therefore needs to be amended on that point.
