HC Deb 22 July 1993 vol 229 c306W
Mr. Gunnell

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will make it his policy to make available to an hon. Member the judge's notes for a murder trial in which one of his constituents wishes him to inquire into his conviction.

Mr. John M. Taylor

Judge's notes are a closed record and not normally made available. The verbatim record of a murder trial is kept for five years, and I refer the hon. Member to my reply to his question which appeared inHansard of 8 July 1993, column 205.
