Viscount Buckmasterasked Her Majesty's Government:
What action they are taking to secure the release of Mr. R. Astles, who has been imprisoned in Uganda for more than five years although acquitted on charges of murder and burglary in separate trials.
§ Baroness YoungSince Mr. Robert Astles renounced his British citizenship to become a mono-Ugandan citizen we have no right to intervene on his behalf and it is for the Ugandan authorities to decide when to release him.
