Mr Frank Johnson

EDM number 317 in 1994-95, proposed by Joe Benton on 20/12/1994.

That this House, in the light of fresh evidence available and bearing in mind recent proven miscarriages of justice, requests the Home Secretary to immediately re-examine the case of Mr Frank Johnson, presently in the 20th year of his prison sentence in Swayleside prison, Mr Johnson having maintained his innocence throughout the course of his long incarceration thus preventing any possibility of parole; further supports the growing tide of professional, legal and lay opinion in the United Kingdom and abroad to the effect that the possibility of a miscarriage of justice clearly exists; and calls on the Home Secretary urgently to investigate the matter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
