Detainees

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the oral statement of 6 July 2010, Official Report, columns 175-78, on the treatment of detainees, if she will make it her policy to require that requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for disclosure of compensation paid in resolving outstanding civil cases are not declined on grounds of statutory exemption.
Answer

[holding answer 13 July 2010]: Mediation is a confidential process and the question of whether any elements are made public is for agreement by both parties. I can however confirm that the exemptions provided for in the Freedom of Information Act would have to be considered before any response could be given.
