Business of the House

Surely this House is entitled to at least a statement on the whole issue of rendition flights, so that hon. Members can question Ministers on what they know about such flights. Today we learn that airport staff may be subject to prosecution if they service those flights. Significant legal opinion suggests that they may be aiding and abetting an illegal activity by doing so. Surely, given all the public concern, a Minister must come to the Dispatch Box and explain what he knows about the matter.
