Written question asked by Jim Cunningham (Labour) on Wednesday, 9 May 2012, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 16 May 2012. It was answered by Crispin Blunt (Conservative) on Wednesday, 16 May 2012 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Charles Taylor

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what plans his Department has made for the imprisonment of Charles Taylor.

[106734]

Answer

The United Kingdom has not yet received an application from the Special Court for Sierra Leone to imprison Charles Taylor. Should such an application be made, arrangements will be put in place similar to those made for the small number of prisoners detained in the UK on behalf of the International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia. It would not be appropriate comment further on those arrangements.
