§ Mr. WoolasTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Criminal Cases Review Commission to report on the case of Nicholas Tucker. [122506]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeI understand that an application for review of Nicholas Tucker's case was submitted to the Criminal Cases Review Commission in January 1999. The Commission has determined that the case will require an extensive review. Mr. Tucker has not presented any special factors that would justify giving his application priority, and it is therefore awaiting allocation to a caseworker, on the basis of date order of receipt. The Commission expects to begin the review within 12 months. The Commission will continue to communicate directly with Mr. Tucker or his representatives.
