§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the current position as to whether Mr. Colin Wallace is to give evidence to the committee of inquiry into children's homes and hostels in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. NeedhamThis is a matter principally between the committee of inquiry, which is independent of the Government, and Mr. Colin Wallace. I understand, however, that the committee of inquiry sought to interview Mr. Wallace in order to take a statement from him, but that Mr. Wallace felt unable to take part in the interview.
