LONDON (AFP) — Prime Minister Gordon Brown has denied receiving a warning about the police secretly bugging a Labour MP during a prison visit.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said he had written to the premier about the matter in December. But Brown denies ever having received such a letter.
Downing Street maintains Brown knew nothing about the bugging allegations.
Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Jack Straw said Sunday he had launched an inquiry into the secret bugging of Tooting MP Sadiq Khan.
According to a report in The Sunday Times newspaper, Khan was bugged by Scotland Yard's anti-terrorism unit while meeting with a constituent in prison.
Events like this could eventually cause other countries around the world to distrust the Great Britain. I wonder how in-depth the U.K. is going to investiate this situation and if the events actually occured.
Grade this.
