Proceeding contribution from Lord Dubs (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorism: Rendition.
Terrorism: Rendition
My Lords, I welcome the clear Statement that my noble friend has made, particularly on the total opposition of the British Government to torture, the fact that rendition where torture might be involved would be unacceptable to us and the confirmation of our view that waterboarding is torture. All that is very welcome. Do not assurances given by the American Government that torture will not be practised lead us into a difficult position, given that they do not believe that waterboarding is torture? Will my noble friend suggest a way out of that?
