HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 c403W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if his Government receives representations from foreign Governments relating to citizens of those Governments involved in cases before British courts; and if his Government make representations to foreign Governments relating to British citizens involved in cases before the courts of those Governments.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We are not aware of any recent case where a foreign Government have questioned judicial proceedings. Interventions are not made by British officials in cases which are before properly constituted courts in foreign countries.
