HC Deb 31 March 1983 vol 40 c266W
26. Mr. Edward Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to establish a right to compensation for wrongful imprisonment.

Mr. Mayhew

We are engaged in a review of the existing arrangements for compensation in such cases, and in the course of that review we are considering the proposals which have been made for legislation on the subject.
