HC Deb 05 December 1974 vol 882 c618W
Mr. Mather

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to secure the early release of Major Harry Alan Andrews, of Cobham, Surrey, who has been detained without trial in the Sudan for the past 13 months.

Miss Joan Lestor
