» Monday, February 26, 2007Deportations-Abu Qatada
Asked for the Prime Minister's reaction to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) decision to continue the deportation of Abu Qatada, especially in light of the meeting with King Abdullah, the PMOS said that the Home Office would put out a detailed statement. However, the PMOS drew journalists' attention firstly to the fact that SIAC had said that Abu Qatada presented a threat to UK's national security and could be deported. Secondly, the court had recognised the value of Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and the assurances linked to them. The court had said that "...we saw no justification for the comments from NGOs that the UK Government's attempt to negotiate an rely on MOUs was an attempt to evade the UK's international obligation...". The PMOS said that that was important in this case in that we had agreed an MOU with Jordan. However, the significance went beyond this case as well.
