§ 19. Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Special Review Committee, set up to deal with the release of the two Shrewsbury pickets, to be concluded; and if he will make a statement.
§ 27. Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further representations he has received about the convicted Shrewsbury pickets.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThe special review of Mr. Tomlinson's case should be concluded about the end of this month, and that of Mr. Warren's in September. I cannot add to the full answer I gave to questions on 8th May—[Vol. 891, cols. 1599–1603].
I continue to receive representations about the case from various individuals and organisations, but no new considerations have been put forward which would justify my recommending interference with the decisions of the courts. The early release of Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Warren must depend on the results of the special parole reviews which I have ordered.
