Iraq/Saudi Arabia
« Butler Report | Back to most recent briefing | EU Commissioner »
Asked for a reaction to claims made by Britons held in Saudi Arabia that the Government had dragged its feet and used them as political pawns in the run up to the war in Iraq, the PMOS said that he was unable to brief on the discussions which had been had at the time because they were confidential. Nevertheless, he could say that he did not recognise the version of events that had been presented. Asked if he was implying that the claims were untrue, the PMOS said that the discussions about the detainees had been held in their own right. In the end, it was the outcome which was important.
