Torture inquiry to restore Britains reputation says Brake

Commenting on the Government?s announcement that there will be an inquiry into the treatment of terror suspects, Tom Brake MP said:

?At long last we can hope to see an end to Labour?s shameful legacy on human rights.

?This Inquiry will be the coalition Government?s opportunity to get to the bottom of what are very serious allegations levelled at our security services.

?From Iraq to accusations of Government complicity in torture, Labour has left Britain?s international reputation in tatters.

?Hopefully, the implementation of this key Liberal Democrat manifesto pledge, with access to all relevant material and people, will start the process of restoring Britain?s standing in the world.?
