Justice and Home Affairs Committee House of Lords
00:04 - 00:38
Speaker 9
Order, order. The session is now in progress, or some such words. 5, 4, 3... Home Secretary, welcome. Apologies for the stifling heat in this room.
I hope you can cope with that heat plus the heat that may be generated from the questions from members of the committee. But we're absolutely delighted to see you. Thank you very much for coming with us. And without further ado, we're going to kick off with a nice opening question from Lord Tope.
00:38 - 00:57
Speaker 17

00:57 - 01:19
