§ Mr. WoolasTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Criminal Cases Review Commission to report on the case of Mr. Nick Tucker. [137040]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeI understand that an application for review of Nicholas Tucker's case was submitted to the Criminal Cases Review Commission in January 1999. The 541W Commission has determined that the case will require an extensive review. Mr. Tucker's representatives have recently asked that his application should be given priority. The Commission will consider this request and let Mr. Tucker's representatives know the outcome. If the Commission found that there were no special factors that would justify giving it priority, Mr. Tucker's application would continue to await allocation to a caseworker, on the basis of date order of receipt, and the Commission would expect to begin the review by May 2001.
§ Mr. WoolasTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received regarding the case of Mr. Nick Tucker; and if he will make a statement. [137043]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeI have received various representations from Mr. Tucker's parents, from hon. Members, and from members of the public.
