International Tribunals (Sierra Leone) Bill [Lords]

Yes, if Taylor were convicted by the Special Court and imprisoned in the UK, I can confirm that that would apply. Should his family wish to visit him here, for example, they could apply for leave to enter as visitors in accordance with normal immigration procedures. The day-to-day administration of the prison and the prisoner would have to be in the hands of the governor. He would act within the rules and norms laid down for the Prison Service, which would have been made clear to the Special Court for Sierra Leone prior to the trial—and indeed if questions were asked during the course of the trial—providing absolute transparency on the conditions under which Charles Taylor would be held if he were convicted and sent to a British prison. Question put and agreed to. Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill. Bill reported, without amendment. Bill read the Third time, and passed.
