Proceeding contribution from Michael Meacher (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Susan May.
Susan May
I made it very clear that three of the forensic science experts who were brought in as witnesses had since been discredited. No one is casting aspersions on the Forensic Science Service in general. All I am saying is that it is important for the Criminal Cases Review Commission to have access to wholly independent evidence. I am sure that those who are concerned about the case would be satisfied if the CCRC were to seek such evidence from a wholly independent source, in the light of the very bad experience in this case.
