<p>We expect any State wishing to transport detainees via UK territory, including
our Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, to seek permission to do so. The
Government will grant that permission only if satisfied that such transportation would
be in accordance with UK law and our international obligations. Detained persons should
remain within the protection of the law at all times.</p><p>Government policy on the
principles governing the detention and interviewing of detainees overseas, and on
the passing and receipt of intelligence relating to detainees, is set out in the Consolidated
Guidance published in July 2010. The Consolidated Guidance is consistent with UK domestic
law and international law obligations, and requires an assessment of the standards
to which the detainee may have been/or may be subject.</p>
