Mr Swire
The right hon. and learned Lady came to see me about this matter, and quite rightly so. I personally raised their case with the Indonesian Foreign Minister at the UN General Assembly in September. She knows that immigration offences are taken very seriously in Indonesia. The trial is progressing at the moment. As I said to her at the time, their lawyers judge that a low media profile is the best way of bringing this immigration case to a conclusion, so it is probably better not to say more than that at the moment.
Andrew Bridgen (North West Leicestershire) (Con)
T7. Will the Minister update the House on progress on the issue of the letttori in Italy, following the recent Pontignano conference?
