Guantanamo Bay
« Middle East | Back to most recent briefing | Immigration »
In answer to questions about the British detainees at Guantanamo Bay, the PMOS said that as we had maintained from the outset, this was a complex issue. Discussions were continuing with the US regarding their future, although they had concluded in relation to five of them. Each circumstance was different. Asked when the five detainees were due to return to the UK, the PMOS said he thought it could be at some point this week. Asked about the fate of the remaining four, the PMOS said that there were two options, both of which were well known to journalists.
Questioned as to whether the five detainees would return to the UK under an official security escort, the PMOS said that there were clearly issues pertaining to security and questioning on their return. However, we would not be giving a running commentary on their movements.
