Proceeding contribution from Crispin Blunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism.
Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism
I agree that we need to put pressure on countries to stop torture. Indeed, many of the countries with which the memorandums of understanding exist are party to the convention—[Interruption.] No, I understand that not all are. However, MOUs between the UK and other countries are a way of exerting that pressure, and they are a step forward in pointing out to those countries that certain standards are expected and required, not least by the UK.
