HC Deb 14 June 2000 vol 351 c627W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people(a) have voluntarily contacted the police, (b) the police have contacted and (c) the police estimate they will wish to contact in connection with the Wiltshire Constabulary inquiry into the death of Ronald Maddison. [125989]

Mr. Charles Clarke

I understand from the Wiltshire Constabulary that no-one has contacted them on their own initiative in connection with the inquiry into the death of Ronald Maddison; that the force has so far been in contact with 12 people in this connection; and that it is not possible to estimate the final number who may be contacted. The inquiry into Mr. Maddison's death is just one aspect of a wider inquiry into events at Porton Down over many years.
