David comments on arrest of Damian Green

David Cameron has described yesterday’s arrest of Damian Green as “extraordinary and frankly worrying”.

The Shadow Immigration Minister was arrested and released without charge following an inquiry into Home Office leaks.

Speaking outside the House of Commons, Damian said: "I was astonished to have spent more than nine hours today under arrest for doing my job.”

And he added, "In a democracy, opposition politicians have a duty to hold the government to account. I was elected to the House of Commons precisely to do that and I certainly intend to continue doing so."
