HC Deb 07 November 1996 vol 284 c654W
Mr. Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress has been made in reviewing the conviction of John Kinsella and in obtaining a statement from Padraic MacFloinn in relation to Kinsella's knowledge about the Warrington bombing. [1092]

Mr. Kirkhope

We expect to receive very shortly from the police a report into certain matters raised in the representations made on Mr. Kinsella's behalf. This will include a statement which, I understand, was taken last week from Mr. MacFhloinn. As soon as that material has been received, we shall consider in the context of the evidence as a whole, whether grounds have emerged on which it would be right to refer Mr. Kinsella's conviction to the Court of Appeal.
