Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what approaches have been made to the Zambian Government over the arrest of and assault on Mr. Donald Coles, a British subject ; and what answer has been received.

Lord Balniel

As I said in answer to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member or Dorset, South (Mr. Evelyn King) on 28th November, we have expressed our concern to the Zambian Government and asked for an explanation. We have been told that they are carrying out an investigation. We are continuing to press the matter.—[Vol. 865, c. 369–70.]
