My reply to the right hon. Gentleman is the same as my reply to Keith Vaz. There have been two ministerial visits to Jordan; the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, my hon. Friend James Brokenshire has made one, and I have also done so. Home Office officials have been there separately as well. We are having positive, constructive discussions with the Government of Jordan about Abu Qatada, but while those discussions are continuing and while there are still legal issues to look into, I will go no further than that.
