London - Police and politicians remained under fire Saturday after the detention of a Tory member of parliament, Damien Green, two days earlier amid suspicions of leaking information.
Green, immigration spokesman for the Conservatives, had been held for nine hours while his homes and offices were searched for evidence in allegations of his involvement in leaking Home Office information.
The opposition parties are demanding that the government answer questions about the detention, with Conservative Party leader David Cameron denouncing the "heavy-handed" tactics involved, Britain's Press Association reported.
