| Name | Reply from Kim Howells press release 30 October 2007 |
| Description | Andrew Tyrie MP receives a reply from Kim Howells MP to his letter on the Westminster Hall Debate on Extraordinary Rendition and the Intelligence and Security Committee Report into Rendition. “The Government has once again confirmed its opposition to torture” said Andrew Tyrie, “Yet refused to condemn the US policy of rendition, whereby people have been kidnapped around the world and taken to places where they may be maltreated or tortured.” “Policies such as this are clearly counterproductive. But the UK Government refuses to make an assessment of their effect in combating terrorism. Secret detention, torture, and Guantanamo Bay act as recruiting sergeants for terrorists worldwide. They make us in the West less secure, not more.” “It must appear to many that Britain’s opposition to torture is opposition in name alone. The Government can restore some credibility in this area of policy by publicly condemning the US policy of extraordinary rendition.” Ends. |
