"The government should take back funding of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Monitoring service"

The Commons Defence Committee recommendation on grounds of national security.

Keir Giles, Chatham House:

"It's unusual that two separate parliamentary committees have come out with the same conclusion that the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s plans are misguided and just plain wrong.

"There are some things that are incontrovertible, the committee points out that the building you (ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire, and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Monitoring) are in, was purchased with government money and now the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ wants to pocket the cash.

"The committee are suggesting adjusting and correcting that situation, so the people paying for the service are the ones that benefit from it."
