HC Deb 21 January 1987 vol 108 c586W
Mr. Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the number of those convicted, on a year-by-year basis, since 1975 on uncorroborated contested confession evidence.

Mr. Scott

[pursuant to his reply, 19 January 1987]: Courts make their decisions having regard to all the admissible evidence which is placed before them. It is not possible to identify cases in which the eventual decision depended only on accomplice evidence.
