In relation to prisoners overseas, the Department of Foreign Affairs cannot intervene on their behalf until the prisoner requests our assistance. I understand that the Department has not to date received any such request. I can assure the Deputy that should the person in question request our assistance, we will be happy to raise his case with the British authorities.
