Justice and Security Bill [Lords]

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

Is the right hon. Lady aware that the American courts do not provide that absolute level of protection and that there is no reciprocation of the control principle in US courts, so it is perfectly possible, through the US court system, that information that we have handed to the Americans could, in principle, find its way into the public domain? That point has been made once or twice already. It is crucial that both countries have a sense of balance and put their courts back at the centre of making that judgment.
