May quizzed over Qatada deportation
Labour’s Keith Vaz asserted that Ms May had gained “cast-iron guarantees” about the treatment of Qatada were he to return to Jordan, following her visit to the country for talks with King Abdullah this month.
He asked: Why is Mr Abu Qatada still in this country?”
Ms May replied: “Further work is being undertaken by the lawyers as we speak.” “
Qatada has been released from jail under a 22-hour curfew while the government seeks assurances from Jordan that evidence gained through torture would not be used in any trial against him.
