§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
On what date Mr. Abdul Qayum Butt was transferred from the Queen's Building to the Ashford Remand Centre; what progress has been made by 886WA the UNHCR Representative in London on finding a third country willing to grant him asylum; and what is the maximum length of time they will detain Mr. Butt in Ashford, assuming that the efforts of the UNHCR are unsuccessful.
§ Lord EltonMr. Butt was transferred from the Queen's Building to Ashford Remand Centre on 4th June 1982. I understand that the London Representative of UNHCR has referred the case to his Geneva headquarters, where it is being urgently considered. It is, as yet, too early to assume that the efforts of UNHCR will not be successful.
