Here’s how the BBC reported this under the slightly unappetising headline, Sir Menzies to head Green probe:
Sir Menzies Campbell is to chair an inquiry into the police raid on the Commons office of Tory MP Damian Green.
The former Lib Dem leader will review how the Commons authorities deal with search requests from the police. The cross-party panel also includes former home secretaries David Blunkett and Michael Howard and ex-foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind.
Commons leader Harriet Harman, who has set up the pane, will ask MPs to approve its terms of reference. She has asked it to report by the end of the year.
Mr Green was arrested last year as part of an inquiry over Home Office leaks. He always maintained his innocence and was told in April that he would not face charges.
