HC Deb 14 December 1982 vol 34 c71W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will name those diplomats still in the United Kingdom and alleged to have committed offences of (a) theft, (b) assault, (c) assaulting a police officer and (d) unlawfully possessing a firearm; and if he will request them to leave the United Kingdom.

Mr. Mayhew

No. It would not be appropriate to identify individuals in relation to alleged offences the facts of which have not been proved in the courts.

It is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to decide what action should be taken in such cases.
