To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if his attention has been drawn to the death of a person (details supplied) in Botswana between 12 and 13 December 2006; if his Department will intervene in view of two interim reports by Jennifer Wild; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware of the circumstances of this tragic case and I am informed that the report on the re-examination undertaken by the local authorities into this matter has been forwarded to the family in question. As previously advised by my Department, if the family are dissatisfied with the outcome of that re-examination they may wish to engage the services of a lawyer in both jurisdictions to advise on the options now open to the family to pursue the case further.
