Motion text

That this House welcomes the long overdue announcement by the Director of Public Prosecutions that the convictions of Mrs Annie Maguire and her co-defendants are unsafe; trusts that Sir John May will treat with caution the suggestion that the forensic evidence was the result of innocent contamination; and urges him to consider fraud, perjury or gross incompetence as alternative and more credible possible explanations.
