HC Deb 18 January 1988 vol 125 c497W
Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representation he has made to the Government of Malawi about the fate of Dr. Jack Mapanje of the English department of the University of Malawi.

Mrs. Chalker

We have no standing to intervene directly, since Dr. Mapanje is a Malawi citizen. The Malawian Government are however well aware of our views on detention without trial.
