Control Orders

Asked when the Prime Minister learnt about the missing control order people, the PMOS said that he was not immediately aware, but it did not alter the way in which these cases were handled ostensibly by the police since it was the courts, not the government, which had imposed the rules of anonymity. The PMOS reminded journalists that he could not get into discussing individuals cases. The courts, not the government, had imposed anonymity and as such the matter would not have been handled any differently. Put that the fact that they were missing had nothing to do with their identity, the PMOS responded that the suggestion being made was that something could have been done that had not been. This was not the case.
