Detainees

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) pursuant to the oral statement of 6 July 2010, Official Report, columns 175-78, on the treatment of detainees, if she will disclose to (a) the Intelligence and Security Committee, (b) the National Audit Office and (c) the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation details of the compensation to be paid in resolution of any civil cases involving the treatment of detainees;
Answer

[holding answer 13 July 2010]: Formal mediation has not yet begun and at this stage we do not know what the outcome will be. The Prime Minister has said that where appropriate financial compensation will be awarded. However, mediation is a confidential process and the question of whether any elements are made public is for agreement by both parties. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.
