§ Mr. Gerald HowarthTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Criminal Cases 27W Review Commission will conclude its consideration of the case of Mark Darren Day, convicted of murder on 26 March 1993 at the Central Criminal Court. [37508]
§ Mr. MichaelI understand that the Criminal Cases Review Commission has completed its initial assessment of Mr. Day's application, which is now awaiting the availability of staff time for a detailed review. Applications at this stage are regularly reviewed for the priority that can be given within available resources and Mr. Day was last informed of the position on 23 March. The Commission cannot say when it will conclude its consideration of his case; this will depend on the issues raised in the case and the work identified to be done, both initially and as the case progresses.
