Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Treatment of Detainees.
Treatment of Detainees
Will the previous findings of the Intelligence and Security Committee on all these matters be, partly, the building blocks of the inquiry? Will the Prime Minister also concede that the test that he has rightly reserved to Ministers represents a classic moral dilemma, because while taking every possible step to ensure that Britain has in no way assisted or abetted torture, a decision has to be made on how to relate to the services of regimes whose conduct we do not trust, but who may hold information vital to the safety of the people of this country?
