HC Deb 31 July 1998 vol 317 c843W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will lay a copy of the first annual report of the Criminal Cases Review Commission before Parliament; and if he will make a statement. [54105]

Mr. Michael

The Commission's first annual report was laid before Parliament on 20 July, and copies were placed in the Library. I welcome the report, and am pleased to note that the Commission is able to record a generally favourable reception to its openness, accessibility and independence, and of the thoroughness and professional competence of its case reviews.
