Birmingham Pub Bombing
artdoc May=1991
House of Commons written answer 10.11.89 Col.804

Ms. Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, pursuant to the replies by the right hon. Member
for Witney (Mr. Hurd) to the hon. Member for Motherwell,
North (Dr. Reid), Official Report, 26 October at columns
1032-3, from which month in 1986 the period covered by the
Assistant Chief Constable of Yorkshire's inquiry commences; and
whether the inquiry will look at material collected by the
Devon and Cornwall police in the course of their investigations
into the conviction of those found guilty of the Birmingham pub
bombing.

Mr. Peter Lloyd: The investigation being carried out by
the Assistant Chief Constable from West Yorkshire into the work
and practices of the West Midlands serious crime squad will
concentrate on the period since 1 January 1986. However, as
my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr. Douglas Hurd)
indicated in his reply on 26 October, if the inquiry were to
give rise to doubt about earlier cases, any convictions which
arose from those cases would be examined.
