HC Deb 22 June 1967 vol 748 c333W
Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what information he has concerning the whereabouts of Mr. Andrew Robert Tye, of Quinton, who is being held without trial in Brazil and about whom he has received representations.

Mr. George Thomson

We have received no official notification of the reported arrest of Mr. Tye, but we understand from his relatives in this country that he is being held at Rio Branco on the border between Brazil and Bolivia about 1,700 miles from the nearest Consulate-General at Sao Paulo. A Consular Officer is being sent by air to investigate.
