Rendition
« Inter-Faith Meeting | Back to most recent briefing | Reshuffle »
Asked if the Government had any reaction to the recent report on rendition by the Council of Europe, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said that he had nothing to say since there were no new facts in the report to respond to. Asked if the UK would be cooperating with the Council of Europe’s investigation as Mr Dick Marty MP of Switzerland had asked, the PMOS said that we had already gone further than that.
Jack Straw had published the facts as we knew them. Put to him that there were well documented cases of rendition that had gone through Europe, the PMOS said that we had dealt with the facts with respect to our own jurisdiction, other countries would deal with the facts in theirs. Asked if we had ever explained why we had, in the past, turned down two requests for rendition, the PMOS said no and added that it was not normal practice to comment on such matters.
