HC Deb 15 December 1982 vol 34 cc164-5W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has as to the imprisonment, health and whereabouts of Mr. David Kitson, a United Kingdom-South African dual citizen; and when his Department was last in touch with the South African authorities in relation to this case.

Mr. Onslow

Mr. Kitson, serving a 20-year prison sentence, is held in the newly constructed premises of the central prison in Pretoria. He is reported to be in good health. We are regularly and frequently in touch with the South African authorities at both ministerial and official levels about various aspects of Mr. Kitson's case. The details of such contacts are best kept confidential, but our present concern is to press for an early date for the promised judicial review of Mr. Kitson's sentence.
