Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Swire and Greg Knight

Tuesday 21st January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Swire]

Either I or my noble Friend Baroness Warsi, who has responsibility for these matters, will, I am sure, be happy to meet the hon. Gentleman.

[Sir Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)]

Can anything more be done to expedite their release? Given that they were only obeying orders, should it not be the captain who faces the charges, and should these men not be freed?
