PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Birmingham Pub Bombings (21 November 1989)
Motion Details
That this House, in view of the widespread disquiet aroused by the case of the six men convicted of the Birmingham pub bombings, calls on the Home Secretary to establish an independent review tribunal, along the lines recommended by the Home Affairs Select Committee report on miscarriages of justice, and in particular to examine the claim by the honourable Member for Sunderland South that he has traced and interviewed the four men responsible for the bombings and that they are all in Ireland.
