Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Pat Glass (Labour). It was answered by Phillip Lee (Conservative) on Tuesday, 25 April 2017 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Cammell Laird

Question

For what reasons the Government has not responded to the findings of the European Parliament's Committee on Petitions in December 2014 relating to the treatment of Cammell Laird strikers in 1984.

Answer

I believe the question is referring to petition number 1961/2013 by Edward Marnell, on behalf of Cammell Laird strikers, on unjust treatment of Cammell Laird strikers. I welcome the questions and recognise the hard work and dedication of the hon. Members involved in this. Industrial relations and how they were historically dealt with are not a matter for the Ministry of Justice, and as such it would be inappropriate for me to comment. A conviction and/or sentence can be challenged by way of appeal. Once the appeal route has been exhausted it is possible to apply to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
