Commons pressure on Galloway
Telegraph | News | Ex-minister likens MP to Lord Haw-Haw
Speaking on the floor of the Commons, Mr MacShane said he could not comment on the allegations that were published by the Senate sub-committee on Monday.
He said Mr Galloway "employs very expensive libel lawyers to stop any press investigation into his role as Lord Haw-Haw for one of the worst tyrants in the world's history, responsible for killing more Muslims than anybody else in the history of that religion.
"Still, we do need a joint Congress and Commons committee of inquiry to settle the truth once and for all.
"Because if any of the allegations of financial receipt are true, it is not just the honourable member's reputation that is at stake. It's the reputation of this House, if it does not deal with it."
The full text of the report is here (long – 630 pages). And even the BBC is now reporting that GG is in the report - start at page 79. I'm not sure if they didn't report that yesterday because that is what the BBC is, or whether they sensibly wanted to run it past their learned friends first.
