HC Deb 19 May 1965 vol 712 cc230-1W
Mr. Rose

asked the Attorney-General in how many cases appeals against conviction were quashed in the Court of Criminal Appeal during 1964 where the appellant had already served a period of the sentence of imprisonment imposed upon him by the trial court.

The Attorney-General

There were 49 such cases in 1964. In 22 of these the appellant was not entitled to be discharged when the conviction was quashed because he was already liable to serve other sentence.
