An inquiry has ruled that Tooting MP Sadiq Khan was not the target of a surveillance operation.
Mr Khan was twice bugged while visiting constituent Babar Ahmed at Woodhill Prison, Milton Keynes, in May 2005 and June 2006.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said today in a Commons statement that the investigation by surveillance commissioner, Sir Christopher Rose, had found Mr Khan was not the "target" for the bugging.
She said Mr Khan's meetings with Mr Ahmed were monitored following the correct rules and procedures.
MPs are not supposed to be bugged, according to the so-called "Wilson doctrine" which was introduced in 1966 by the then Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
He pledged no MPs phone would ever be bugged.
Ms Smith said there was "scope for confusion" on the present surveillance and interception rules and announced a review of the codes of practice to clarify that conversations between MPs and constituents should be classed confidential.
