request Mr Boyle was twice taken to the transit lounge
where he made a number of long distance calls at 1700 and
1750.
As for Mr Boyle's final point about having the computer entry on his background removed, I must emphasise that
each country sets its own rules for entry and gathers its
own information on travellers. The British Government does not become involved in other countries' procedures,
in the same way that we would not expect other countries to try and influence our entry procedures. As far as records in this country are concerned, the Scottish
Criminal Record Office have informed us that Mr Boyle's
record is still live and accurate. Mr Boyle is on
release from prison on a life licence, having been
sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. Under the
present policy, which is a Home Office responsibility,
this means his record remains on file until he dies.
