§ Mr. SinghTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps the Government are taking to secure the release of Ghazanfer Ali, currently in prison in Mirpur, accused of murder. [40830]
§ Mr. FatchettWe cannot make formal consular representations on Ghazanfer Ali's behalf, since he is not a British national. Our High Commission in Islamabad will continue to follow his case. We are concerned that he should receive a speedy and fair trial.
