§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what representations have been made to seek a review of the sentence of 20 years' imprisonment imposed by a Spanish military tribunal on the British subject, Stuart Christie.
§ Mrs. WhiteStuart Christie submitted an appeal on 11th March to the Spanish Head of State. As a personal plea for clemency it was conveyed direct through Spanish official channels and not through Her Majesty's Embassy in Madrid which has, however, expressed the hope that sympathetic consideration would be given to it.
