Welcome to the APPG on Extraordinary Rendition

Image The All Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition was established by Andrew Tyrie in December 2005.  It is a cross party grouping of MPs and Peers from the British parliament who have come together to examine extraordinary rendition and related issues.  The Coordinator of the APPG is Stuart McCracken.

"The questions asked by...the all-party parliamentary group are precisely the sort of parliamentary interrogation and questioning that is wholly appropriate"  -  Foreign Secretary David Miliband MP, 21 February 2008 

The APPG is supported by contributions from trusts, foundations, nongovernmental organisations and private individuals.  It receives no money from any government.

The APPG's entry in the Official register is available online.
