Torture

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will respond to the report from REDRESS The UK, Torture and Anti-Terrorism, where the problems lie, published in December 2008; if so, when they will publish their response; and whether they will take any remedial action before then.
Answer

I refer you to the Answer given by my noble friend Lord Malloch-Brown of 5 February 2009 (Official Report, col. WA 150). We have received a copy of the Redress report. We welcome such input and have taken note of its contents, but are unable to respond in detail to every report issued.
