HC Deb 31 July 1975 vol 896 cc578-9W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many convictions for criminal offences have been obtained in the Metropolitan Police area in the five years to 1st January 1975 when the evidence for the prosecution was based solely or substantially on identification; and if any persons with such convictions have been pardoned.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

Information about convictions when the evidence for the prosecution was based solely or substantially on identification is not available. None of the persons granted free pardons during the period in question had been convicted in the Metropolitan Police area in these circumstances.
