Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.

Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, I support my noble friend. I have already disclosed an interest in this case. I shall be interested to hear whether the Minister can answer my noble friend’s request about what happened to the 10th defendant who was acquitted in the first trial and whose application for asylum has been pending for eight years. He is not convicted and never has been. He did not have to rely on appeal. His case was that he was going with his wife to a wedding in Mosul and found himself caught up in these events. The jury accepted that case. Therefore, I should be very grateful to know from the Minister what has happened to him.
