Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorist Suspects (Renditions).


Terrorist Suspects (Renditions)

I will certainly look at the report to which my hon. Friend refers. He referred to a spider's web of secret detention. It is important to repeat that we have been told by the United States that neither of the two people involved in this case were involved in secret detention centres, nor were they subject to water-boarding or other similar forms of torture. President Bush said, I think in 2005, that no one was being kept in any secret detention centre as of 2005. However, I will certainly look at the important issues that my hon. Friend raises, because for reasons of substance and of the symbolism to which the spokesmen for the Opposition parties referred, it is very important that the highest standards are met.
