CIA report: UK defends actions over interrogation claims
None of the redactions from a CIA report on interrogation related to British involvement in the mistreatment of prisoners, Number 10 has said.
Downing Street confirmed UK and US intelligence agencies discussed the controversial report before it was published.
But a spokesman insisted any redactions would have been made on "national security grounds".
The report found "brutal" treatment of al-Qaeda suspects in the wake of 9/11.
Senators looked at how the CIA handled detainees in the years after the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. The full document, produced by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, remains classified.
The published report contains no reference to UK agencies.
Home Secretary Theresa May is expected to be questioned by MPs on Monday about a meeting she held with the committee in 2011.
Downing Street said Mrs May "discussed a range of issues" at the meeting.
