May we have an assurance that everything will be done to see that Dr. Allen has the freest possible access to his legal adviser? His family lives in my constituency. He was my constituent before he went to Leeds. I saw his father last night and I have spoken to his wife. I believe that I am fully entitled, therefore, to raise this matter.

May I also ask that when the present period of remand comes to an end representation may be made that he should be allowed bail? Will the Minister accept my assurance that those who know Dr. Allen and his family very well indeed would vouch absolutely for his personal integrity, and that bail to any reasonable amount would be forthcoming?
