§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will refer to his advisers the article, a copy of which has been sent to him, concerning Patrick Kane; and if he will arrange for his case to be reviewed by the Life Sentence Review Board. [30211]
§ Sir John WheelerI can confirm that, following an internal review of this case, Patrick Kane has been informed that his case will be referred to the Life Sentence Review Board earlier than the normal 10-year stage of imprisonment. The case will be considered by the Northern Ireland Life Sentence Review Board in early 1997.
