CIA report: UK MPs and peers seek material on any UK 'torture' role

BBC News - CIA report: MPs and peers seek material on any UK 'torture' role
A parliamentary committee is to request the US hands over any material documenting the UK's role in the CIA's post-9/11 interrogation programme.
Sir Malcolm Rifkind said the intelligence committee he chairs would act "without fear or favour", although some MPs want a judge-led inquiry.
It follows a US Senate report which found "brutal" treatment of suspects.
Downing Street has said some material was removed from the report at the UK's request for national security reasons.
