HC Deb 24 July 2000 vol 354 c756
11. Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow)

Pursuant to his answer of 6 July 2000 to my hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham (Mr. Marsden), Official Report, column 299W, on the death of Hilda Murrell, when he expects the investigations by the Forensic Science Service into the remaining forensic evidence in the Hilda Murrell case to be complete. [130332]

The Minister of State, Home Office (Mr. Paul Boateng)

The progress of the investigations by the Forensic Science Service into the remaining forensic evidence in the Hilda Murrell case is a matter for the Forensic Science Service and, of course, the West Mercia constabulary to whom it will report its findings. I understand that the West Mercia constabulary would be happy to brief my hon. Friend on the progress of the investigation.

Mr. Dalyell

I would like to meet them.

Mr. Boateng

I will ensure that such a meeting takes place.

Madam Speaker

That is the sort of exchange I like.
