Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Treatment of Detainees.


Treatment of Detainees

On the eve of the fifth anniversary of 7/7, no one in this House is likely for one moment to underestimate the acute terrorist threat, but is it not a matter of great concern that one of our most senior judges, the Master of the Rolls, said this year in court that British security officials""appear to have a dubious record when it comes to human rights and coercive techniques"?" Did not experience in Northern Ireland over 30 years demonstrate time and again that torture only helps terrorism, and certainly does not help to undermine it?
