Proceeding contribution from Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorist Suspects (Renditions).
Terrorist Suspects (Renditions)
The Foreign Secretary has referred several times to the ISC inquiry, which, as he will be aware, looked at the case of my constituent, Jamil el-Banna, as well as that of a constituent of my hon. Friend the Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr. Davey), and their illegal rendition from the Gambia—then on to torture and Guantanamo Bay. The Foreign Secretary has admitted today that some of the information used for the wider inquiry by the ISC was incorrect—that is the point of his statement. Does that not underline the need for a full, independent, judicial inquiry into British involvement in rendition?
