Welcome to the APPG on Extraordinary Rendition

Andrew Tyrie MP

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition was established by Andrew Tyrie in December 2005. It is a cross party grouping of MPs and Peers from the British parliament who have come together to examine extraordinary rendition and related issues.

 

The questions asked by... the all-party parliamentary group are precisely the sort of parliamentary interrogation and questioning that is wholly appropriate.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband MP, 21 February 2008
