Al Yamamah: Where are the Tories?
June 14, 2007

Just yesterday, at Prime Minster’s Questions, Ming Campbell asked Tony Blair who was to blame for withholding information about these payments from the OECD’s investigation. The party has already called for an inquiry into ending of the Serious Fraud Office’s earlier investigation into the deal.
Her Majesty’s Official Opposition, on the other hand, have been strangely quiet on the issue, prompting a question posed on the Guardian’s Comment Is Free website: where are the Conservatives?
