HC Deb 22 March 1994 vol 240 c139W
Mr. Wells

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will extend to United Kingdom citizens the use of his good offices to resolve issues of compensation for torture undergone in countries where they have difficulty in pursuing legal action in the courts.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In principle we would make representations on behalf of any British national who has suffered in the way described. But there are difficulties in cases of dual nationals in the country of their second nationality.
