We welcome this resignation, which we at APPEAL have long been calling for. Ultimately the CCRC needs a completely fresh senior leadership team, made up of individuals with a track record of challenging injustice.

Grateful to @DavidDavisMP for raising the injustice of denying compensation to the wrongly convicted at today’s #PMQs. Now it’s over to @Keir_Starmer — let’s hope he stands by his word and takes a serious look at this issue. #PayUp4TimeSpent #JusticeMatters.
93 per cent of victims of miscarriages of justice are refused compensation for their wrongful conviction. This is an institutional miscarriage of justice, denying victims proper recompense for having their lives ruined. Today, at PMQs, I asked @Keir_Starmer to put this right 👇🏻
