HC Deb 20 November 1986 vol 105 cc295-6W
65. Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider the evidence regarding the alleged wrongful conviction and imprisonment of the Maguires for an explosives offence, presented by Mr. Robert Kee in his book "Trial and Error", a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. Friend is looking carefully at Mr. Kee's book in order to determine whether it raises any new points which require further investigation or which may affect his earlier decision that he would not be justified in referring the case to the Court of Appeal.
