§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanI confirm that in my reply to the noble Lord, Lord Lamont of Lerwick on 6 June, my answer that no British citizen, of whom we were aware, in any European Union country had been held for three months without being charged, meant that each prisoner in each country had been charged with a crime constituting an offence in the country in question.
