Ms Vertucci's petition.

It is procedurally permissible for

decisions of this kind to be taken at Under-Secretary level on

the Secretary of State's behalf, but in Ms Vertucci's case her

petition was seen by Mr Atkins, who approved the decision.

It was subsequently also seen by Lord Carrington after his

return from the Middle East.
