Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, with reference to his Department's press release entitled Foreign Secretary meets representatives of Guantanamo detainee, of 1 March 2012, whether it is the Government's policy that indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay is wrong; and that the UK will continue to call for Guantanamo Bay to be closed.

Her Majesty's Government (HMG) has stated repeatedly our long held view that indefinite detention without review or fair trial is unacceptable and this remains our position. HMG has long supported the closure of the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. We have made this clear to successive US Administrations, including to the Trump Administration, and we will continue to do so.
