Two MPs challenge refusal of judge-led rendition inquiry

Labour's Dan Jarvis and Tory David Davis go to high court over abandoned promise

A Labour and a Conservative MP have joined with a human rights charity to mount a legal challenge against a decision to abandon a promise to hold a judge-led inquiry into torture and rendition involving British intelligence agencies after 9/11.

Dan Jarvis and David Davis have submitted an application for a judicial review in the high court in conjunction with Reprieve to try to reverse a decision made in the last days of Theresa May's government, which contradicted a promise originally made by David Cameron.
