Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Records of Detention (Review Conclusions).
Records of Detention (Review Conclusions)
I am grateful to the Secretary of State for the frank statement that he has made. To put some balance into the picture, every day, British personnel risk their lives to rescue Taliban who are injured on the battlefield. RAF personnel fly in and bring them back to be patched up in hospital, and their lives are saved, although they may be interrogated afterwards. Our forces are doing a fantastic job, not only protecting our troops but recovering injured Taliban as well.
