§ Sir Bernard Braineasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action has been taken by Her Majesty's Government concerning the case of Walter Kenneth Nelson Fleury, a United Kingdom citizen, aged 23 years, who was abducted by security officials in Buenos Aires on 9 August 1976 and has not been heard of since; what happened following the service of habeas corpus writs by his mother after visiting the British embassy on the same day; what inquiries were made about this case to the Argentine authorities by Her Majesty's Government; on what dates; and with what results.
§ Mr. OnslowThe next of kin in Argentina of Walter Kenneth Nelson Fleury have hitherto requested that no publicity should be given to this case. We will seek to establish whether this is still their view, although, in present circumstances, there will be difficulties in doing so. I will in any event write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
