Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

I do not know how the hon. Gentleman can say that it puts any pressure on another country to say, "It's ok, we'll do a deal with you even though you are a torturer." Is it his party's view that we can trust a torturer, especially one who has signed up to the UN convention against torture and is therefore breaching that solemn international obligation, to adhere to a one-off agreement on an ad hominem basis on a fingers-crossed contingency? Is that the Conservative party's policy on torture?
