I can confirm that the person concerned was transferred on 15 November 2007 to the preferred prison, to which the Deputy referred in Parliamentary Question No. 249 of 13 November 2007.

My officials have made renewed enquiries as to the state of health of the person. The prison authorities advise that the individual was examined medically on arrival on 15 November and that there are no indications of particular health concerns.

My Department will continue to monitor the case until the release of the person in question, which we understand should take place before Christmas.
