Posthumous Pardon For Derek Bentley (EDM40)

Posthumous Pardon For Derek Bentley

EDM number 40 in 1992-93, proposed by Robert Parry on 12/05/1992.

That this House welcomes the book, To Encourage the Others, by David A. Yallop, calling for an independent public inquiry into the hanging of Derek Bentley in 1952; requests the Secretary of State for the Home Department to set up the inquiry as a matter of urgency; hopes that such a request will lead to a posthumous pardon; and feels that this will end a grave miscarriage of justice which leaves a permanent blot on the British judicial system - the hanging of an innocent man.

This motion has been signed by a total of 197 MPs.
