§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all occasions where he has given interviews this year to the media on allegations of the bugging of the royal family by security or intelligence services; and if he will place in the Library copies of the available transcripts of his comments on this matter.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI gave interviews to the BBC on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 May. If the hon. Member wishes to obtain transcripts he should contact the BBC. I was also questioned about this subject, among others, at a press conference in Edinburgh on 12 May but I cannot provide a transcript of my answers there.
