Business question from Tim Loughton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 July 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House will be aware that the paediatrician Professor Sir Roy Meadow is appearing before the General Medical Council in response to allegations of misdiagnosis in certain child death cases. Eighteen months ago, the Minister for Children and the Solicitor-General made statements to the House about the review of cases in the light of the judgment. Will the right hon. Gentleman find time for one of those Ministers to update the House on what has happened since then—how the review has progressed and how many people who may have been wrongly accused of and sentenced for murdering their child or children are still in jail?
