I warmly welcome the Prime Minister's statement and the speed with which he has accepted Sir John Chilcot's recommendations. As he knows, this is entirely in keeping with the Home Affairs Committee's decision of 11 December to recommend that intercept evidence be used. In view of the current climate, is he satisfied that the robustness exists for the accountability and supervision of the whole area of surveillance? Once he receives the Rose report, if he is not satisfied will he—at the risk of exciting the Leader of the Opposition—initiate a review of this area, to ensure that it is robust and that there is proper accountability and supervision?
