APPG on Extraordinary Rendition

This is the Information Commissioner's second decision in relation to a related APPG complaint about the MOD's failure to disclose other information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).  The APPG's complaints were upheld in whole or in part and the MOD was required to disclose some of the requested information.  The original requests are published in the letters section of this website.

The Information Commissioner issued the first of two decisions in response to the APPG's complaint about the MOD's failure to disclose information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).  The IC agreed with the MOD's refusal to disclose on most issues but required it to publish some requested information.

The APPG publishes a legal opinion by two UK barristers, which concludes that there are no legal barriers preventing the Foreign Secretary from immediately establishing an inquiry into British involvement in extraordinary rendition.

The APPG files a reply to the US agencies' submission of 11 May 2010, in relation to the APPG's FOIA litigation.

US Government agencies file a reply to the APPG's FOIA submissions, asserting that the APPG and Andrew Tyrie are 'representatives of a foreign government'.
