Stephen Downing

EDM number 316 in 2000-01, proposed by Alan Meale on 08/02/2001.

That this House congratulates Justice Pitchforth on his actions in the Appeal Court to grant bail pending a full appeal hearing to Stephen Downing, who was wrongly jailed for murder 27 years ago; pays tribute to those who campaigned for his release including the honourable Member for Derbyshire West; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to speed up the process by which such questionable cases are examined in future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
