HC Deb 02 April 1996 vol 275 cc91-2W
Mr. Corbett

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will now make representations to the Spanish Government about their failure to implement the terms of the treaty between the United Kingdom and that country on the transfer of convicted prisoners in the case of Ms Louise Stack.

Mr. Hanley

There is no bilateral treaty between Spain and the UK on the transfer of convicted prisoners. We are not aware of any failure by the Spanish authorities to observe the Council of Europe convention on the transfer of sentenced persons in the case of Ms Louise Stack.

Ms Stack was released from prison in Spain on conditional liberty on 26 March.
