Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representation they have made to the government of the United States of America to close the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay.

The UK Government's long-standing position remains that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay should close. We will continue to engage with the US Government on this issue, as we do on a range of national security issues, and in the context of our joint determination to tackle international terrorism and combat violent extremism.
