From 31:38 to end of video

SPEAKER:
“I do want to hear Mr McCann”

MICHAEL MCCANN (MP – Labour):
“Mr Speaker, Prison Officer Neville Husband abused young men in the Medomsley Detention Centre for decades before he was prosecuted and sentenced for some of his crimes. 
A Constituent who was abused by Husband has given me information which suggests that senior figures in the Establishment knew what was going on. 
The CPS refuses to pursue these matters and instead the Home Office has sought to issue compensation payments.
Mr Speaker, young men were detained by the State and then they were abused by the State. Does the Prime Minister agree with me that a full enquiry is necessary to insure that justice is done and is seen to be done?”

DAVID CAMERON (Prime Minister - Conservative):
“Well I think the first thing that the honourable gentleman should do, and I’m sure he already has, is make sure that any evidence he has of abuse, or of cover-ups of abuse, or compliance with abuse, is given to the Crown Prosecution Service and given to the authorities so it can be properly investigated. 
The Home Affairs Select Committee on which I sat actually looked into this issue in years gone past, made a number of recommendations, so I’ll look ‘carefully’ at what the honourable gentleman said and see if there’s more advice I can provide.”
