I think it is a matter that should be examined in its totality to see whether or not it is feasible and desirable to give that kind of direct access to all of the secrets of state, so to speak, in the whole security and intelligence field to a parliamentary body. I don't know of any country in the world that has done that, but it's obviously a question that parliamentarians and the government are going to have to consider.
