". – Whilst I have absolutely no reason to doubt the figure given by the honourable Member, there are different estimates. The official estimate of the number of prisoners affected in this specific area and this specific instance is 300, rather than 700. The point that we continually try to make in our representations is that regardless of the precise numbers there is a principle of humanity to be followed, and we want to see it applied without any further delay.
However, whilst I understand the argumentation over the legal base, we would be further complicating an already delicate situation if we were to seek to act in a peremptory fashion or advise others – including the United Nations – that they should do that. Clearly there is less patience now than yesterday, and there was less yesterday than last week. That feeling is being strongly communicated in the relevant quarters. But it would be irresponsible and misleading of me to indicate that we are going to make any major departure from the course that we have followed and have every reason to believe we can produce a successful and humane conclusion."@en1
