The UK unreservedly condemns the use of torture or inhuman treatment. We work hard with our international partners to eradicate this abhorrent practice. We have consistently made clear our absolute opposition to torture and our determination to combat it wherever and whenever it occurs.
Preventing torture and tackling impunity for those who torture are essential components of safeguarding our security and are integral to a fair legal system and the rule of law.
The UK abides by its commitments under international law and expects all countries to comply with their international legal obligations.
The UK Government, including the intelligence and security agencies, never uses torture for any purpose, including to obtain information.
As in any circumstances, if anyone has evidence of any wrongdoing, that should be brought to the attention of the appropriate authorities for investigation.

That this House is appalled by the Government's attempts to discredit Martyn Gregory, the producer of Channel Four's Dispatches programme The Torture Trail, via a criminal investigation by the Ministry of Defence police; notes the programme exposed the involvement of the British government and British companies including British Aerospace's Royal Ordnance in the export of electro-shock weapons that can be used for torture; notes that the film recently won Amnesty International's 1995 award for best television documentary; is shocked that the Ministry of Defence police have now made Mr Gregory the target of a criminal investigation and that he could be charged with incitement to break the Firearms Acts; notes that this offence carries a sentence of up to five years; believes that the Ministry of Defence police investigation is an attempt to cover up the Government's and British Aerospace's involvement in the electro shock torture trade; notes that the Department of Trade and Industry have been at the forefront of attempts to discredit Mr Gregory, that the Right honourable Member for Henley and the honourable Member for Wiltshire North and the honourable Member for Esher have accused Mr Gregory's film of scaremongering and making false and contrived charges; supports Mr Gregory's response to these unfounded allegations in starting defamation proceedings against the Department of Trade and Industry in the High Court with the full support of Channel Four; and calls on the Government to launch forthwith an independent investigation into the programme's exposure of the British trade in weapons of torture.

That this House is appalled by the recent allegations made in the television programme, Dispatches, broadcast on Channel 4 on 11th January 1995, that United Kingdom companies have supplied and continued to promote the sale of electric shock batons and other types of equipment, such as leg cuffs, to countries which have repeatedly been found to practise torture as regularly reported by Amnesty International; urges Her Majesty's Government to provide a detailed explanation of the apparent failure to take human rights considerations into account when allowing such trade; and further calls on Her Majesty's Government to review its laws and procedures to ensure that its legislation and regulations regarding the transfer of all security and police equipment avoid ambiguities and provide for the public disclosure of such transfers in advance, so that Parliament can exercise proper control, that such transfers are prohibited unless it can be reasonably demonstrated they will not contribute to torture and other human rights violations, that effective channels are established for Her Majesty's Government to receive information from non-governmental organisations on the human rights aspects of such transfers, and that the human rights situation of receiving countries is taken into account before any decision is made to export security equipment.
