§ Mr. HunterTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans she has to meet members of the families of Guardsmen Fisher and Wright or their representatives; what requests she has received on this matter; and what was her response. [53598]
§ Mr. IngramMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has no plans to meet with members of the families of Guardsmen Fisher and Wright. She met my hon. Friend the Member for Carrick, Cummock and Doon Valley (Mr. Foulkes), Constituency MP for the Fisher family, on Tuesday 10 March 1998. She also met my hon. Friend the Member for Cinlithgow (Mr. Dalyell) on Thursday 22 January 1998. The purpose of these meetings was not to discuss the detail of the cases but rather to explain the Northern Ireland life sentence review process and how it applied to the Guardsmen's cases.
