Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 15 July 2009.


Samantha Orobator

Question
My Lords, I totally accept everything that the Minister has said. It is a serious matter. However, could an application be made to the court to extend the time for payment?
Answer

My Lords, the difficulty is that the Laotian authorities may well consider that once she has returned here their ability to enforce any extension on payment has been removed. Let me again assure the noble Lord that we are determined to find a way through this. While she is in good health and being well cared for, it is obviously enormously important that she comes home.
