Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the solicitor acting on behalf of Michael John Smith (PR 3345) in HMP Full Sutton may have access to the full Mitrokhin Archive; and if he will make a statement. [132276]

Mr. Robin Cook

[holding answer 24 July 2000]: I am not aware of any such request from Mr. Smith's solicitor. It is, however, open to them to write to the Treasury Solicitor, who would take advice from the relevant authorities.
