HC Deb 02 February 2000 vol 343 c1178 11.58 pm
Mr. Phil Woolas (Oldham, East and Saddleworth)

I should like to present a petition, on which there are 8,000 signatures, on behalf of Mr. Gordon and Mrs. Jaqueline Singleton, which states: For the brutal murder and dismemberment of Liane Singleton, aged eighteen years, a life sentence should mean life and not a minimum of fifteen years for murderer Paul Stowers who will be young enough to do it again. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons asks the Secretary of State for the Home Office to look specifically at this case, with a view to ensuring that Paul Stowers serves the whole of the life sentence imposed upon him for his heinous crime. The petitioners remain, etc. To lie upon the Table.
