Davey: Complicity in co-operating with torture and rendition may reach highest levels of Government

3.28.00pm GMT Tue 17th Feb 2009

Liberal Democrat Foreign Secretary, Edward Davey today called on David Miliband to release all documents and legal advice relating to the Government’s policy on the interrogation of terror suspects outside the UK by British Secret Service Agents, if necessary solely to the Intelligence and Security Committee.

Edward Davey said:

"The nature of these allegations grows ever more serious by the day. They suggest that complicity in UK co-operation with torture and extraordinary rendition may reach to the highest levels of Government.

"Now that it has come to light, the legality of this interrogation policy needs to be challenged and at the very least the Intelligence and Security Committee must have access to all related documents."
