Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on United States of America.
United States of America
The Minister has said how much she welcomes the new Administration's commitment to closing Guantanamo Bay and to opposing torture. Does that not make more ironic the Government's positions of not being prepared to take any more detainees from Guantanamo who are not British residents or citizens, and of not pushing the American Administration to publish summaries of intelligence reports that British judges wanted published, because they might reveal torture? The Government's position on both those issues is the reverse of what the Minister is welcoming from the American Administration.
