To ask the Prime Minister what representations he (a) has made and (b) plans to make to (i) the Governor of Florida and (ii) the United States Administration on the situation of Mr. Krishna Maharaj. (139184)

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. Friends the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have not made any representations in this case. On behalf of the Government, I have written to the Governor of Florida in support of Mr. Maharaj’s clemency plea. No further representations are planned at this stage but we will continue to monitor the case closely.
