HC Deb 03 July 1981 vol 7 cc506-7W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will take steps to assist Sarah Llewellyn and Jacqueline Kidson in obtaining compensation following their mugging in San Francisco.

Mr. Ridley

Our consular officers in San Francisco will continue to provide, on request, Mrs. Llewellyn and Miss Kidson with such consular assistance and advice as they properly can; but we can not provide legal advice or assistance or pursue claims for personal compensation on behalf of individuals.
