HC Deb 15 May 1989 vol 153 cc97-8W
Mr. Livingstone

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the conviction of Mr. Colin Wallace for manslaughter in the light of the evidence of a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice set out in the book entitled "Who Framed Colin Wallace" by Mr. Paul Foot; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

We will consider, in accordance with normal policy, whether Mr. Foot's book contains any evidence or other consideration of substance which might call into question the safety of Mr. Wallace's conviction and which has not been considered by the courts.
