§ Mr. ThurnhamTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when a consular officer will next pay a visit to the five Britons arrested in Majorca on 1 July; and what advice was offered by the officer on his last visit.
§ Mr. MellorThe persons concerned were conditionally released on 14 July 1988. The charges against them still stand.
During his last visit to them, prior to their release Her Majesty's consul at Palma sought to confirm their wellbeing. He did not offer any specific advice, as it is for their Spanish lawyer to provide any advice which they might require about their cases.
