Business question from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Thank you for getting us all in, Mr. Speaker. The right hon. and learned Lady will recall that, a few weeks ago, I raised the sad case of Simon Mann, who was unlawfully kidnapped and taken in chains to Equatorial Guinea. Perhaps we should have a wider debate on the plight of British and EU citizens who are unlawfully imprisoned abroad. More specifically, may I ask whether our envoy in Equatorial Guinea has been to see Simon Mann? Does Mr. Mann have access to legal assistance? Is he being humanely and fairly treated?
