Current finding
As at 14 October 2026, no reply from the Parliamentary Archives is recorded in the reply register and nothing establishes wrongdoing. Whether it, rather than The National Archives, is the custodian of any Lords file on the case is not established.
Next step
Ask the Parliamentary Archives to state whether it holds any papers on the 1987–88 petition and to preserve them. Acceptance: a catalogue reference or a dated negative search result. See also the House of Lords review and the National Archives review.
