  • ISC Anniversary Press Release 28
    All-Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA Press release – 28 June 2019 One year since the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) issued a damning report on detainee mistreatment and rendition, members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Extraordinary Rendition have called on the Prime Minister to deliver on the commitment to a judge-led inquiry and to address other urgent concerns. Ken Clarke, Chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition, said: “It is a year since the ISC report was published. That report established that involvement in rendition was far more wide-ranging than previously believed, and highlighted serious flaws in policy and guidance. But access to key witnesses was blocked and the Committee concluded that, within its powers and remit, it could take matters no further. At the time, the government committed to respond within 60 days and to consider seriously the case for a renewed judge-led inquiry. After 147 days, it slipped out an evasive response that failed to address the question of a new Inquiry. And now, a year on, we are still waiting. Concerns remain as to the guidance issued to our intelligence services, armed forces and others regarding cooperation with other countries’ security services when this might facilitate torture, mistreatment or rendition. The Prime Minister asked the Investigatory Powers Commissioner to review the guidance, and he recently submitted his recommendations. We need to see the publication of new and significantly reformed Guidance. That is why members of the APPG from different parties have written to the Prime Minister urging that new Guidance be published and that the commitment of a previous administration to a judge-led inquiry be honoured.

    Rt Hon Michael Gove MP Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Lord Kinnoull Our reference: MC2020/08099 ​ Chair, European Union Committee House of Lords London SW1A 0PW 13 July 2020 ​ Dear Lord Kinnoull, RE: EM 8038/20: Proposal for an EU Council Decision establishing the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union in the Joint Committee established by the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community as regards the adoption of a decision to amend the Agreement Thank you for your letter of 17 June asking for details on the first Decision adopted by the Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee (WAJC) at its second meeting on 12 June. The Decision adjusts certain dates stated in the Withdrawal Agreement, to reflect the January 2020 UK Exit date (as opposed to references to March or October 2019), and adds two Social Security Regulations omitted from the initial list in the citizens’ rights Annex. The further amendment on Article 145 on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel provides certainty for the operation of current contracts in the UK and ensures that the EU honours its existing financial commitments to the UK, in relation to this specific grant. I can confirm no other citizens’ rights- or financial provisions-related amendments were made during the second WAJC meeting. The Decision will be issued as a Command Paper on 14 July. We did not consider or discuss the EU’s proposals on the Ireland/Northern Ireland (NI) Protocol amendments at the WAJC meeting on 12 June.
