§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases during the last three years leave to appeal had been granted by the full court after it had been refused by the single judge, and in how many cases this had resulted in the quashing of a conviction or the reduction of a sentence.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThere were 231 such cases in the three years 1964–1966. These included 30 cases in which appeals against conviction were allowed and 144 cases in which appeals against sentence were allowed.
