HC Deb 10 April 1972 vol 834 c128W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that Joseph Sewell is known to have had assets of between £50,000 to £250,000; and whether he will therefore cause an investigation to be made to ascertain how and why he was granted legal aid.

Mr. Carlisle

As the time in which Sewell may apply for leave to appeal has not yet expired, it would be inappropriate for me to comment at this stage on the matter raised by the hon. Member.
