Mr. Ingram: As of 15 July 2003, the United States is holding one prisoner of war and 71 other persons captured by British forces,
who are either suspected of committing criminal offences or are interned where necessary for imperative reasons of security in
accordance with the Fourth Geneva Convention. All other British captured prisoners of war have been released under the supervision
of British forces, and with the knowledge of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The United Kingdom does not use the
