HC Deb 14 January 1991 vol 183 cc610-1
30. Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Attorney-General when he expects a date to be set for the appeal of the six men convicted of the Birmingham pub bombings; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

I refer the hon. Gentleman to my answer to the hon. Member for Sunderland, South (Mr. Mullin).

Mr. Corbyn

Will the Attorney-General confirm that senior judges are saying that the Guildford Four were guilty, despite the fact that they were released by the court? What hope is there for a genuinely fair trial for the Birmingham Six when, apparently, senior members of the judiciary do not accept the findings of the Court of Appeal in relation to the Guildford Four?

The Attorney-General

I confirm nothing of the kind.
