HC Deb 22 April 1983 vol 41 c516 9.35 am
Mr. Fred Silvester (Manchester, Withington)

I present the petition of Mrs. Anna Hughes, who is petitioning the House on her own behalf. She does so because of the circumstances surrounding her husband's death when he was left unattended, or did not get to hospital, for more than one hour and 50 minutes. She wishes to draw attention to the circumstances of the matter, and is anxious that there should be a process whereby she may have a judicial review of the matter, as the processes of legal aid are no longer open to her. She asks the House to consider also what effects in law would arise from a consideration of this case. Wherefore your Petitioner prays that your Honourable House will assist your petitioner to bring the matter to judicial hearing and will consider the implications for the reform of the law.

To lie upon the Table.
