we are very clear that the foreign office's decision to advise northamptonshire police that this ladyas, had diplomatic immunity, was not only wrong but also unlawful. so our first step is to issue something called a letter of claim, a prior step tojudicial review, called a letter of claim, a prior step to judicial review, and we will ask the court to quash that decision. we will ask them to say she never had immunity. if the foreign office where here, i'm sure they would say they were doing their best in this case. i'm of course. they have said right from the start that she had immunity, but it then lapsed when she left the country. we say she never had it, and it is going to have to be decided by a court. and she never had it because her husband was not a diplomat in the conventional sense? we have been very clear about that right from the start. we have been a bit puzzled why governments on both sides have claimed she did have immunity. when you are also unhappy with the way the police have handled that. explain what you feel about that. explain what you feel about that. there are

northamptonshire police have defended their handling of the case of the claims the family waited moreth of september but the foreign office asked police to wait a few days before telling harry dunn's family. 0n the 23rd the family were made aware that she had travelled back to the us. police then met with them three days later. you can imagine the reaction when they found that out, that the authorities knew weeks before we did. it's astonishing that they decided to keep that information from them and where is that flow of information? they are entitled to be ke pt information? they are entitled to be kept up—to—date on progress of the case and they simply haven't been. it's been one cover—up or one lie after another. we just don't seem to be getting the truth out of anybody at the moment. 0urfight be getting the truth out of anybody at the moment. 0ur fight continues but we won't stop until we get some justice for harry and if that means not being able to get anne sacoolas back to the uk, then ourjustice will be to get at least the truth. harry dunn's death has led to serious question
