Keith Vaz (Leicester East, Labour)

I welcome the Home Secretary to the Dispatch Box. One of her first decisions was to announce a review of the case of Gary McKinnon, a constituent of Mr Burrowes. That decision is welcome. Does she have a timetable for when she thinks that she will conclude her review of that case?

Theresa May (Home Secretary; Maidenhead, Conservative)

I am not able to give the right hon. Gentleman a timetable at the moment. Indeed, I took a decision that we would agree to an adjournment of the judicial review that was due to take place towards the end of May. I was asked whether I would do that and received further representations from Mr McKinnon's legal representatives. I am waiting for those further representations to be received.

There is nothing in law, or in real life politics, to limit such "representations" only to Gary McKinnon's legal team.

Please write to the Home Secretary on Gary's behalf:
