34 Questions the British Government needs to answer

by Whaleoil on November 28, 2008

With the arrest of Opposition MP Damien Green, the Brown led Labour Government has bought themselves a government ending crisis of mammoth proportions.

ConservativeHome has 34 questions that need to be answered.

Perhaps the most damning one is this;

Is it not a breach of Parliamentary Privilege for the police to arrest a Member of Parliament for using information he received for Parliamentary purposes?

This is a dangerous precedent that Gordon Brown’s ministry has instigated. It must be fought with extreme vigor.

    Two people are going to lose their heads.  The first is the Speaker (who is on thin ice anyway) for allowing this breach of Parliamentary Privilege and the second is the Under Secretary of the Home Office for Ordering this search and arrest of an MP.  It is also possible the Home Secretary will have to resign.  It is not as if National Security was compromised by the disclosure of compromising material by the MP but embarrassing it certainly was.  Indeed it showed up lapses in the Department which if corrected would improve effectiveness in the Department.
