§ Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make representations to the Irish Government concerning the illegal detention in their Embassy to the United Nations in New York, of a British subject, Kerry Allbeury, aged four and a half years.
§ Mr. KershawI have been asked to reply.
No. Whilst she is in the United States Kerry Allbeury is outside the jurisdiction of the English courts. If her mother is not prepared voluntarily to bring Kerry back to this country the only way her father can regain custody is by instituting proceedings in the American courts.
