§ Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will institute a public inquiry into the case of Mr. Bruce Lee, the mentally handicapped youth convicted in 1981 of starting fires which killed 26 people.
§ Sir Patrick Wallasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether, in view of the most recent 108W evidence, he will reopen his investigation into the conviction of Mr. Bruce Lee for arson at Wensley Lodge in January 1977;
(2) whether, in view of the latest evidence, he will reopen his investigation into the conviction of Mr. Bruce Lee for charges of arson brought against him.
§ Mr. WhitelawI have seen a recent newspaper article about Mr. Lee and I understand that the newspaper intends to send me a dossier about his convictions for manslaughter and arson. I will wish to consider this material very carefully before deciding whether there is any further action which I should take.
