Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl Attlee (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 4 June 2008.


US Prison Ships

Question
My Lords, can the Minister remind the House what the Geneva conventions say about holding POWs afloat as opposed to transporting them by ship?
Answer

My Lords, I am afraid that I cannot tell the noble Earl what they say, but of course I will look up the information and write to him. However, I suspect that he probably knows the answer to the question that he has raised.
