Justice Committee House of Commons
00:04 - 00:30
Speaker 5
Order, order. Welcome to this afternoon's session of the Justice Select Committee, when we are delighted to be joined again, but after a substantial absence, by Stephen Parkinson, who is the Director of Public Prosecutions. And members of the committee will be asking him about various aspects of his and his department's work. But we have to begin with declarations of interest, starting with Tony Vaughan KC.
00:30 - 00:41
Speaker 18
Hello, my name's Tony Vaughan, I'm the MP for Folkestone and Hythe. I am a barrister with a practicing certificate, an associate tenant at 1000 Street Chambers, and I draw attention to my register of interest.
00:41 - 00:57
Speaker 4
I'm Andy Slaughter, I'm the chair of the committee and the MP for Hammersmith and Chiswick. I'm a non-practicing barrister. I'm a member of the GMB and Unite trade unions, and the patron of two justice-related charities, Hammersmith and Fulham Law Centre and the Upper Room for ex-offenders.
00:57 - 01:16
Speaker 6
Stephen, my name's Tessa Munt, I'm the MP for Wells and Mendip Hills, which is in Somerset. Everything's on the register, but I will just highlight the fact that I'm a director of Whistleblowers UK, which is a not-for-profit organisation, and I'm also the vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Penal Affairs.
