Tony Blair has asked US president George Bush to send home UK detainees from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.
His request is included in court papers outlining the UK Government's defence against action by two of the detainees.
Feroz Abbasi and Martin Mubanga are seeking a court order to require UK authorities to make a formal demand for their return from Cuba.
The papers say a judicial review is not necessary, because the government has already requested their release.
They read: "The UK Government is continuing to seek the return of the four remaining detainees and the prime minister has made a direct request to President Bush to that effect."
