Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) 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)

Will the Secretary of State say what inquiries had been made on behalf of the Ministry of Defence? Neither my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for North-East Fife (Sir Menzies Campbell) nor my hon. Friend the Member for Brent, East (Sarah Teather) got a straight answer when they asked that question. The Secretary of State did say that there was no substantiated evidence of mistreatment, but was there any evidence? Can we strip away any mealy-mouthed adjectives? Was there any evidence whatever of mistreatment?
