§ Mr. DrewTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United States Government on behalf of Kenny Richey, a British citizen currently sentenced to death in the State of Ohio. [40401]
§ Mr. Tony LloydWe have been aware of Mr. Richey's case since 1990 and are watching developments closely (though this is not always easy because Mr. Richey is not a British citizen and because of the strict privacy laws in the United States). As Mr. Richey's case is under appeal, we are not intervening directly with the US authorities at this stage, but we shall keep this under review.
