Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the statement made by the Minister for Europe and the Americas on 2 July (HC Deb, col 26) with respect to the publication of the Intelligence and Security Committee reports into detainee mistreatment and rendition, what criteria they will take into account as part of their "careful consideration of calls for a judge-led inquiry"; and whether they intend for the update "within 60 days of publication of the reports" to take the form of a ministerial statement.

As Baroness Goldie said on 2 July, the Government will aim to provide a full and formal response to the Intelligence and Security Committee's Detainee Inquiry within 60 days of the publication of their reports.
