(asked on 27th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been released from custodial sentences as a result of wrongful convictions in each of the last 10 years.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2016
The Ministry of Justice does not hold the number of people released from custodial sentences as a result of wrongful convictions in England and Wales. Obtaining this information would incur disproportionate cost.
