Proceeding contribution from Lord Hurd of Westwell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Binyam Mohamed.


Binyam Mohamed

My Lords, will the Minister clarify one point? Nobody as I have heard it has suggested that we should breach the third-country rule; its importance has been emphasised in the most authoritative way. Would he confirm, however, that there would be no breach of the rule, or breach of convention or practice, if Her Majesty's Government in confidence expressed to the United States Government their view about publication of material which they, as the Minister confirmed, have themselves seen in confidence?
