CONVICTION OF GEORGE KELLY

Early day motion 59, tabled 18 November 2009 by Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes the quashing after the longest campaign in English legal history lasting 53 years of the conviction of George Kelly who was wrongly convicted of murder in the Cameo Cinema murder case and who was executed in 1950; recognises the efforts of those, including relatives who have died, who sought to overturn the conviction; and calls for a public inquiry into the gross miscarriage of justice.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Liberal Democrat 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1, Independent 1.
