Business of the House

The right hon. and learned Gentleman is a distinguished Member. He knows full well that the United States Secretary of State has set out very clearly that what he is claiming is simply not the case: the United States is not involved in transporting people across the world for the purposes of torture. The United States rigorously observes the relevant US law and, indeed, the relevant international treaties.
