Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that the Government extend its review to reassess all cases where British nationals have received opinions of arbitrary detention and are being held in countries where there is a history of torture of foreign detainees. • The review should include all internal guidelines on recognising cases of arbitrary detention and cases vulnerable to use for diplomatic leverage. • We request a copy of the final report of the review.
