HC Deb 16 October 1995 vol 264 cc49-50W
Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on action he has taken since the receipt of new evidence on 8 June 1993 in the case of convicted prisoners Michael Hickey, Jim Robinson and Vincent Hickey. [37476]

Mr. Nicholas Baker

The Merseyside police were asked to make inquiries into some of the matters raised in the petition of 8 June 1993. These inquiries were subsequently widened to take into account further representations submitted during 1994. A report from the police was submitted to us in May 1995 and we are considering it along with all other information about the case in order to decide whether there are grounds for any action.
