Bugging ? I know nothing !!

Brown 'unaware of bugging letter'
Sadiq Khan
Sadiq Khan said he was carrying out his normal MP work

Downing St says it has no evidence that the PM received a letter from the Conservative party warning that an MP's conversations may have been bugged.

Newspapers have alleged that Labour MP Sadiq Khan's discussions with his constituent Babar Ahmad in prison were monitored by anti-terrorist officers.

Shadow home secretary David Davis says he wrote to the PM in December, but No 10 says it has no record of the letter.

A government inquiry is now under way into the prison bugging claims.

Mr Ahmad faces no charges in the UK but is awaiting a decision from the European courts to discover if he will be extradited to the US, on suspicion of running websites raising funds for the Taleban.
