Proceeding contribution from Lord Dholakia (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorism: Rendition.

Terrorism: Rendition

My Lords, is it possible to establish the facts by asking the American Government? There are finite numbers of people in Guantanamo Bay and there must be a record of how they came to be there. Can we find out whether any one of them was rendered through UK airspace or territories? As a supplementary action, will he ask other European Union members whether any flights took place to those countries and ask the American Government to give an explanation?
