§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the trial in the Yemen of British citizens. [92241]
§ Mr. HoonI refer my hon. Friend to the Foreign Secretary's statement to the House 11 January 1999,Official Report, column 21. On 22 June the trial in Aden of the eight British nationals was adjourned until 25 July when the Court plans to deliver its judgment. British consular officials, who have attended the trial from the outset, will attend also for the judgment. I can make no further comment on the case at this stage since it remains sub judice.
