HC Deb 23 July 1981 vol 9 c199W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress the Government have made since 16 April in considering the proposals of the interdepartmental working party on the repatriation of prisoners.

Mr. Mayhew

The United Kingdom is taking part in the preparation of a draft Council of Europe convention on the transfer of prisoners, on which work was further advanced at a meeting in Strasbourg last month. The proposals of the interdepartmental working party are now being considered in the light of the progress made in these discussions.
