Guildford Four (Hansard, 2 December 1992)

§ Mr. Mullin
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what public interest immunity certificates he has signed in respect of documents supplied by his Department to Sir John May's inquiry.

§ Mr. Kenneth Clarke
None.

§ Mr. Mullin
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report from the Metropolitan police as to what documentary evidence they have supplied to Sir John May's inquiry into the Guildford Four convictions; and on what terms.

§ Mr. Jack
No. Questions about the disclosure of documents held by the Metropolitan police are the responsibility of the Commissioner and not of my right hon. and learned Friend.

§ Mr. Mullin
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to publish all oral evidence taken by Sir John May in his inquiry into the Guildford Four convictions when the inquiry is completed.

§ Mr. Jack
As was the case in connection with the oral evidence given to his inquiry into the convictions of the Maguire family and those convicted with them, it will be for Sir John May to decide whether to take any oral evidence in connection with his inquiry into the convictions of the Guildford Four, and whether and in what form any such evidence should be included in his report to my right hon. and learned Friends or otherwise made public.
