§ Mr. MullinTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he first received representations on behalf of Mr. Brian Parsons; when he expects to complete his considerations; and if he will make a statement. [26886]
§ Mr. KirkhopeRepresentations were first made between March 1991 and January 1993, but on the basis of these it was decided in May 1993 not to refer the case to the Court of Appeal. Further representations were made following television documentaries shown in 1994 and 1995. As a result of these, the entire case was re-examined by the Devon and Cornwall police. Once we have finished considering their report, we shall aim to reach a conclusion about the case as quickly as possible.
