§ Mr. Stonesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has studied a letter sent to him by a firm of solicitors acting on behalf of the parents of Paul Sandler, P. 153097/6, requesting the release of the prisoner on compassionate grounds so that he can be at home with his parents in time for Christmas this year; and what was the nature of his reply.
§ Miss PikeYes. But my right hon. Friend regrets to say that he can find no sufficient compassionate grounds for the release of this prisoner earlier than in the normal course, and I am so informing the solicitors.
