Labour MP says she thinks the security services are spying on her

Labour MP Ann Clwyd told Radio 4 this morning that she believes the security services may be spying on her communications, telling The Week in Westminster that:

“I think I am [being tapped] yes. My own government may not known that I’m being spied on, that’s the question I’m posing, really. In the past, because I was involved in CND, Greenham Common, the march started off in Wales, I was the only politician at the start of that march and never thought it would escalate as it did. Obviously I went to Greenham Common a number of times and I believed then that telephone conversations were being listened to. My own evidence is that the phone run in my home, I picked up the phone, and I heard my own voice being played back to me from a previous conversation I had. I just asked the question, and I haven’t yet had the answer.”

Clwyd, who has been campaigning on behalf of Wikileaker Bradley Manning, believes she may still be under surveillance.
