Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Terrorism.


International Terrorism

May I welcome my right hon. Friend's commitment to operating within the framework of human rights, which of course imposes positive obligations on the state to protect us from the consequences of terrorism? May I also particularly welcome her commitment to complete opposition to the use of torture? Does she agree that we have to make sure that our agents overseas, who are operating in one or two dubious countries, such as Pakistan, are properly trained, and are under proper instruction to make sure that they do nothing that could in any way, shape or form be seen as making them complicit in the use of torture?
