Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Baha Mousa Inquiry.


Baha Mousa Inquiry

I will certainly examine whether there is a need to do that, and if there is, I will certainly do so. As I have said, compared with the period in 2003 that the report examines, we now have a system in which every allegation is reported, recorded and investigated, and detainees are asked at various stages whether they have any complaints about their treatment. The way in which we now conduct these operations could not be more different from the way that is set out in the inquiry. We have learned some very important lessons, but the tragedy is that victims such as Baha Mousa were part of that learning process.
