HC Deb 10 July 1979 vol 970 c117W
Mr. Mike Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider making arrangements for United Kingdom citizens convicted of criminal offences abroad to be able to serve their sentences in the United Kingdom and when he expects to be able to publish such information on this topic as is available to him.

Mr. Whitelaw

This matter is currently being examined by an interdepartmental working party of officials. I hope to have the working party's views by the end of this year and will consider then whether the report should be published.
