§ Mr. Nigel GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Spanish authorities to ensure that the public prosecutor on Tenerife holds the criminal investigation proceedings into the death on 24 February 1985 of Mr. Garry Maher without further delay.
§ Mr. SainsburyThis is a tragic case, but it would be inappropriate for us to try to influence Spanish judicial procedures. It is for the Spanish authorities alone to decide when they are ready to hold criminal investigation proceedings.
