§ Mr. Hilary BennTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he made about the case of Sandra Gregory during his recent visit to Thailand; and if he will make a statement. [128147]
§ Mr. HainMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State was briefed on the case of Sandra Gregory before his visit to Thailand. However, he did not raise any consular issues during his visit.
Ms Gregory submitted a Royal Pardon Petition in May 1997. Ms Gregory is waiting for His Majesty the King of Thailand to make his decision on her application. Our Embassy in Bangkok continues to make regular inquiries with the Thai authorities on the progress of Ms Gregory's Royal Pardon Petition.
