§ Lord Marlesfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Bach on 8 September (WA 157), whether they have now received the formal United Kingdom-specific report from the International Committee of the Red Cross on the treatment by coalition forces of prisoners of war and other persons protected by the Geneva Convention; and, if so, whether they will publish the report. [HL4296]
§ Lord BachNo, we have not received a formal UK specific report from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on the treatment of prisoners. Following recent discussions with the ICRC we do not now expect the ICRC to see a requirement to produce such a report.
