Inquiry into MP bugging
Updated on 04 February 2008
The Justice Secretary has announced an inquiry into claims that a Labour MP was bugged by anti-terrorist police while he visited a constituent in prison.
Jack Straw told the Commons that if police had eavesdropped on Sadiq Khan, who is a government whip, the inquiry would find out who had authorised this.
There have been reports that a decision to bug Mr Khan was taken by a police officer without ministers being consulted.
