HC Deb 17 March 1948 vol 448 c2061
Mr. Speaker

I think I ought to inform the House that I have received the following letter from the Lord Chief Justice: Royal Courts of Justice, London, W.C.2. 16th March, 1948 DEAR MR. SPEAKER, I think it my duty to inform you that the conviction of Mr. David Weitzman, Member of Parliament, for conspiracy was this day quashed by the Court of Criminal Appeal and his discharge ordered. I am glad to be able to say that the ground on which the Court quashed the conviction was that there was no evidence at all of his participation in any conspiracy.

Yours sincerely,

GODDARD.

The Right Honourable

The Speaker of the House of Commons."
