Iraq: Detainees
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to his answer of 14 January 2008, Official Report, column 885W, on Iraq: detainees, what the Government's policy is on recording (a) requests for the transfer of individuals to the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and (b) the transfer of individuals to the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay for which the UK Government's consent was not requested.
- Answer
-
Any request made by the US authorities for approval to transfer to Guantanamo Bay an individual previously detained by UK forces but passed into their jurisdiction would be recorded. As I made clear in my answer of 14 January 2008, Official Report, column 885W, we have no record of any such requests having been made and no record of any such individual being transferred without our consent.
