Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Detainee Inquiry.
Detainee Inquiry
Will the Justice Secretary accept that the allegation that British security officials handed over suspects to places abroad where they were tortured is a matter of great concern for Britain's reputation? I said ““allegation””, but in the case last week of the two Libyans, the letter which was found from the MI6 officer confirms that that was not merely an allegation. The two were sent over to Libya and were tortured. As we know, one of them, who holds a high position now in post-Gaddafi Libya, is accordingly bringing legal action against the UK Government.
