§ 31. Mr. FREEMANasked the Home Secretary whether it is his intention to review the case of Doris Williams, who was found guilty of the murder of her child, but was recommended for mercy at the Glamorgan Assizes in 1927, and is now serving a life sentence of imprisonment, in view of the fact that she has now been in prison for over three years and that certain fresh evidence is claimed on her behalf?
§ Mr. CLYNESI have gone into this case more than once and no such case is ever overlooked. The time has not come when I could reach and announce a decision as to recommending release. I am unaware of any new material evidence; but if such evidence can be submitted it will of course receive the fullest consideration.
§ Mr. FREEMANMay I take it that the right hon. Gentleman will look into the matter again?
§ Mr. CLYNESYes.
