Governance of Britain

Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Governance of Britain.
My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has made proposals for change, particularly to give, as it were, a greater impression of legitimacy to the people who serve on these committees. In my experience of appearing before the Intelligence and Security Committee over a nine-year period, it is in fact a very independent body of parliamentarians. We are ensuring that more information is made available, but ultimately it is for Members of this House to make better use, if I may say so, of the opportunities that are available, including a full day's debate each year, in respect of the ISC's work.
