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

Treatment of Detainees

I very much welcome my right hon. Friend's statement. It will be even more warmly welcomed by Mrs Zineera Aamer and her children —the family of Shaker Aamer, the last UK resident in Guantanamo Bay. They are also my constituents. They are British citizens, and they have suffered greatly over the past eight years. Does my right hon. Friend agree that it adds urgency to the case that, in the event of the inquiry deciding that it wants to take evidence from Mr Aamer, he should, ideally, be available to give it?
