I refer my colleague to the answers I gave to Parliamentary Question No. 59 on 2 February 2006 and Parliamentary Question No. 678 on 21 March 2006.

The legal representatives of the person concerned wrote to my Department requesting a further opportunity to submit representations on his behalf and, as an exceptional measure, my Department has allowed these further representations to be submitted. I expect the file to be submitted to me for decision shortly.
