Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Baha Mousa Inquiry.
Baha Mousa Inquiry
My Lords, the noble Viscount makes a very important point and I quite agree with him. The ability to seek and obtain intelligence from detainees is too important but we will always seek to ensure that it is done within the constraints of the Geneva conventions. The UK Armed Forces are at all times subject to English criminal law. MoD policy reflects applicable international law, including prohibitions on torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
