HC Deb 21 October 1992 vol 212 c305W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further information he has received concerning the safety of the conviction of Sam Kulasingham and Prem Sivalingham; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jack

[holding answer 19 October 1992]: No information about the safety of these convictions has been received since I answered a question from the hon. Member on 8 June, at column 4. We will give further consideration to this matter as soon as we receive the report from the Essex police to which I then referred.

Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received into the safety of the conviction of Robert Maynard; if he proposes to refer the case to the Court of Appeal; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jack

[holding answer 19 October 1992]: Representations about the case have been received from solicitors acting for Mr. Maynard—and Mr. Dudley who was convicted with him—and from a number of individuals. As I explained in my reply to a question from the hon. Member on 19 October, at column 59, these representations and the material supplied in support of them are still being examined.
