§ Mr. John Home Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will institute an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the grant of home leave to Steven Wilkins, a patient at Eastdale special hospital, in June 1979.
§ Mr. BrittanI have already looked into the circumstances of this tragic case and I have written twice to the hon. Member about it. I am not persuaded that an inquiry would serve a useful purpose.
