Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the number of British citizens serving prison sentences for criminal offences in Spain; and how many have served the whole of their sentence or have had it reduced on an appeal.
§ Mr. WhitlockFourteen United Kingdom citizens are currently serving prison sentences in Spain. None of these has yet completed his full sentence and none of their sentences has yet been reduced on appeal. To the best of my knowledge six pleas for clemency have been submitted to the Head of the Spanish State.
