I cannot assist the hon. Gentleman with that, I am afraid. As he knows, several cases have gone to court, brought in particular by former detainees at Guantanamo Bay, and that will open up to them all the powers of disclosure that are in the hands of the High Court. If the Court thinks it appropriate to disclose the documents that the hon. Gentleman seeks, I have no doubt that it will do so.

Not willing to answer a simple question on UK complicity in torture, shameful.

The question was not to do with cases that have gone to court, it was about the guidance issued. Mrs. Baird is answering a non-posed question with a useless answer.
