Parliamentary Search

Written statement made by Jack Straw (Labour) on Tuesday, 10 January 2006 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Rendition: Additional Information

My reply of 12 December 2005, Official Report, column 1652W to the question put by the right hon. and learned Member for North-East Fife (Sir Menzies Campbell) stated that officials had identified a few instances during the administration of President Clinton where the US authorities had requested permission to render a detainee through UK territory or airspace. I added that officials continued to search the records. Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials have now completed a search of all relevant records back to May 1997. This search has turned up one further case, also in 1998; the Government declined a US request to refuel a flight carrying two detainees in route to the US.
