HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 cc115-6W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether documents received from Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iran and Iraq, relating to the deaths of British citizens have stated if the deceased died in custody.

Mr. Whitney

We are aware of only one case since 1 July 1983, that of Mr. Walsh, involving the death in custody of a British citizen in any of these countries. On foreign states' practices in respect of documentation, I have nothing to add to the answer which my hon. Friend the Member for Shoreham (Mr. Luce) gave to the hon. Gentleman on 23 July at column 513.
