Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress the Criminal Cases Review Commission has made on its review into the Shrewsbury 24 case.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission’s review of the applications from the ‘Shrewsbury 24’ is progressing. The Commission are currently considering additional documentation relating to this case. I know that the CCRC will consider this - and the views of the applicants about this material - with care. I understand that the Commission hope to complete their review of this case before the end of the year.
