HC Deb 09 June 1975 vol 893 cc25-6W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement with regard to the determination by the Spanish courts of all matters outstanding against Brian Wall, at present incarcerated in Cadiz Prison.

Mr. Hattersley

Mr. Wall is in Jerez Prison serving a 10-year sentence imposed on 21st November 1974 for drug trafficking. His appeal against sentence was rejected. A contraband tribunal hearing on 7th February 1974 has been postponed pending valuation of the drugs. Provisions exist for appeal against the tribunal's findings and in due course for a petition for clemency.
