| Subject: Criminal British Lawmakers Exempt Themselves From Wiretaps Tue Feb 05, 2008 2:21 am | |
| LONDON: Allegations that a bug hidden in the hollowed out table of a prison visiting room was used to spy on a lawmaker's conversations has raised new questions over the extent of covert surveillance in Britain.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw told the House of Commons on Monday and inquiry had begun into whether conversations between legislator Sadiq Khan and Babar Ahmad, who is in prison awaiting extradition to the United States to face terrorism charges, were bugged.
The case, if proven, would call into question a decades-old deal which protects British legislators from wiretaps.
