HC Deb 29 March 1974 vol 871 c225W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mackay, who have been in prison in Malawi since September 1973, to be released; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Joan Lestor

Mr. and Mrs. Mackay are legally detained under a Presidential Detention Order of indefinite duration. The British High Commission have repeatedly made representations that the Mackays should be charged and brought to trial, or released. They will continue to press for a decision.
