HC Deb 17 September 2004 vol 424 c1871W
Sir Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assistance the UK has provided to the US authorities in the detention and interrogation of terrorist suspects; and if he will make a statement. [185050]

Mr. Ingram

Three United Kingdom forces personnel were involved in interrogation and debriefing of individuals held by United States Authorities at Abu Ghraib prison in early 2004, some of whom had suspected links to terrorism. In addition, UK armed forces personnel who are part of the Iraq Survey Group have been involved in interrogation and questioning of US detainees. In no other current operation have UK military personnel interrogated US detainees.
