HC Deb 15 February 1988 vol 127 c438W
Mr. Heffer

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to grant financial aid to the lawyers who are assisting the Belgian lawyers defending those involved in the Heysel stadium case; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

There is no provision for such expenditure. On the question whether legal aid could be available for this case, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply to his question being given today by my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General.
