NORMAN TEBBIT must be called to give evidence to the spycops inquiry, campaigners have demanded, after he revealed police special-branch officers spied on trade-union leaders.
The Tory peer made the shocking admissions last week when he appeared unexpectedly at a meeting hosted by Labour MP Richard Burgon on the undercover policing inquiry.
Lord Tebbit told campaigners that he regularly received briefings from police on trade unionists while serving as employment secretary in Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet in the early 1980s.
