answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>With the exception of those relating to Shaker Aamer, the British Government receives no specific assurances from the US administration about the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, as no British nationals remain among them. However, whilst Shaker Aamer is not a British national, his connections to the UK mean that he remains a high priority for the British Government. We continue to seek assurances regarding Mr Aamer’s health and welfare through our engagement with the US authorities, and we continue to make clear to the US that we want him released and returned to the UK as a matter of urgency.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/11/2014 14:43:57 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
