<p>The Government has made it clear that Ministers must be consulted whenever UK intelligence
and security personnel involved in an operation believe that a detainee is at serious
risk of mistreatment by a foreign state. The Consolidated Guidance sets out the principles,
consistent with UK domestic law and international law obligations, which govern the
interviewing of detainees overseas and the passing and receipt of intelligence relating
to detainees. The guidance is used by and must be adhered to by officers of the UK’s
intelligence and security agencies, members of the UK’s armed forces and employees
of the Ministry of Defence. The Investigatory Powers Commissioner, Lord Justice Fulford,
has oversight of compliance of the Consolidated Guidance.</p>
