asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made to the Greek Government on behalf of Joe Mallett, a British subject who has been managing a football team in Greece and who has been prevented by the authorities from leaving that country because of a tax dispute.

This is a private matter between Mr. Mallett and the Greek tax authorities. Representations by Her Majesty's Government would not be appropriate, but the consul in Athens is doing what he properly can to help.
