Biographical Background:

Early Years, Education and Journalism Christopher John Mullin was born in Chelmsford, Essex, on the 12 December 1947 to father Leslie Raeburn Mullin and mother Teresa (nee Foley). He had three siblings: Patricia (b.1955); David (b.1953); and Elizabeth (b.1949). He attended St Joseph's RC School in Ipswich, then an independent boarding school for boys. He studied Law at the University of Hull where he became interested in journalism, contributing to and editing the student publication Torchlight. After graduation, Mullin began working as a self-employed journalist. During the 1970s and 1980s his interests lay in Asia. He travelled to Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Laos, India and Thailand. He participated in tours to Vietnam and Laos in 1980 and 1981 as a tour leader, which tours were arranged under a Daily Mirror scheme. He wrote for various British and international papers and was a correspondent for Gemini News Service during the 1970s and for the BBC World Service in the period 1974-1978. Having been a regular contributor to the socialist weekly paper, the Tribune, Mullin was appointed editor 1982 and served in this capacity until 1984. Throughout his political career Mullin continued to contribute articles and letters to various newspapers and campaigned for a media free from the influence of media conglomerates.

Writing and Authorship In the late 1970s Mullin was asked by Tony Benn to edit Benn's books, 'Arguments for Socialism' and 'Arguments for Democracy'. However, Mullin was also an author in his own right. His works include 'Error of Judgement', 'A Very British Coup', 'Year of the Fire Monkey', 'The Last Man Out of Saigon', and an unpublished work (titled variously as 'The Manifesto of an Extremist' and 'A Plain Man's Guide to the Decline of Britain'). He has also written and published a series of political diaries under the titles A View From the Foothills (2009), Decline & Fall: Diaries 2005-2010 (2010) and A Walk-On Part: Diaries 1994- 1999 (2011). In 2016 a volume of memoirs was published under the title 'Hinterland'. He was also responsible for a short pamphlet titled 'How to select and reselect your MP'. Much of his writing has received critical acclaim, he has had a number of works adapted for TV, and he was invited to be a judge of the 2011 Man Booker Prize. His novel 'A Very British Coup' was later made into television series with a screenplay by Alan Plater, and he was able to persuade the editor of the 'World in Action' series to commission him to research programmes exploring the case of the Birmingham Six. His diaries were adapted for the stage by Michael Chaplin under the title 'A Walk on Part'.

Miscarriages of Justice Campaigning With a background in law and an interest in criminal and social justice, Mullin became involved in investigations into a number of miscarriages of justice. He undertook journalistic research, wrote articles and lobbied on behalf of persons he believed to be victims of miscarriages of justice. Perhaps most well-known of these cases was that of the Birmingham Six in the 1970s. He also worked on behalf of the Guildford Four, the Maguire Seven and Judith Ward whose cases stretched back to the 1970s. The Birmingham Six, Guildford Four and Judith Ward cases had been some of the first to be enacted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (1974). This had been quickly passed in the aftermath of the Birmingham Bombings and allowed police to hold terror suspects for an unprecedented seven days without charge. Solicitor Mrs Gareth Peirce, well known as a Page 1 of 136 Hull History Centre: Records of Chris Mullin MP solicitor working for the wrongly-imprisoned (including the Tipton Three), acted as solicitor to members of the Birmingham Six, the Guildford Four and Maguire Seven, and to Judith Ward. Chris Mullin worked closely on these cases, campaigning in the press and parliament. The nature of the cases he worked on have led to some accusations of pro-Republican sympathies and special interest in Irish Republicanism. However, he always stated that his real interest was justice. Later he would work on the Carl Bridgewater case of the 1990s, and he received many letters from Caribbean prisoners on the subject of human rights issues and the death penalty. The miscarriage of justice issues surrounding many of the cases he was involved with, but particularly the Birmingham Six case, led to the establishment of the Royal Commission on Criminal Justice. As a result of the Royal Commission on Criminal Justice and amendments to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill 1994, the Criminal Cases Review Commission was established (1995-1996).

Committee Membership and Ministerial Career Mullin believed strongly in the necessity of Home Affairs Select Committee work. He was a member of various select committees from 1992, and served two periods as chairman (1997- 1999 and 2001-2003). He was a member of the Committee on Standards and Privileges from 2006, and was responsible for examining the conduct of various MPs. He was also a member of the House of Commons Reform Committee from 2009 in the period in which it was established. Under the Blair-led Labour Government, Mullin was appointed to various junior ministerial positions. Between 1999 and 2001 he served in the Department for Environment, Transport & Regions having responsibility for aviation, recycling and countryside issues. From February to May 2001 he served in the Department for International Development. Finally, he served in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as Africa Minister between 2003 and 2005. Some of his campaigning and parliamentary work continued to overlap after leaving the various departments.

Parliamentary and Constituency Work Inspired in part by his reaction against the Vietnam War, Mullin joined the Labour Party in 1967. He first stood as a Labour candidate for North Devon in 1970 where he was unsuccessful. He then stood for Kingston-upon-Thames in 1974, Southwark-Peckham in 1981, and finally Sunderland South in 1985. He was to represent Sunderland South in Parliament from 1987 to 2010 when he chose not to stand for re-election. Within parliament, Mullin was an active campaigner on various subjects including criminal and social justice, north east shipbuilding, farm animal welfare, and media bias. He also took an interest in the plight of Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo.

Later life Upon his retirement from political life in 2010, Mullin was engaged to teach a module on 'The Rise and Fall of New Labour' at Newcastle. In acknowledgement of his political achievements and his campaigning work in the sphere of criminal and social justice, Mullin was the recipient of various awards and honours. He received honorary degrees from the University of Hull, Newcastle University and the University of Essex 2011 following his retirement as an MP. He was appointed Chairman of the Heritage Lottery Fund North East, and served as a judge of the 2011 Man Booker Prize. In his private life, Mullin married his wife Nguyen Thi Ngoc in April 1987, and had two daughters with her. They currently live in Northumberland.

U DMU/5 Miscarriages of Justice Campaigning 1974-2002 Series contains files relating to Chris Mullin's work as a campaigner in the area of miscarriages of justice, which was undertaken throughout his career and often crossed the spheres of his journalistic, authorial and parliamentary work.

U DMU/5/1 Birmingham Six Case 1974-2002 Subseries contains files relating to the case of the Birmingham Six. Includes correspondence, press cuttings, reports, copy court papers, audio visual recordings, etc.

Background to the case of the Birmingham Six On 21 November, 1974, an IRA bombing campaign in the West Midlands culminated in explosions at two public houses in the centre of Birmingham, 'The Tavern in the Town' and 'The Mulberry Bush'. Twenty-one people died and at least 160 were injured. A few hours later five Irishmen, travelling on a train that had left Birmingham shortly before the explosions, were arrested at the Lancashire port of Heysham, where they had been about to board a ferry for Northern Ireland. A sixth was later arrested in Birmingham. Hugh Callaghan, Paddy Hill, Gerry Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, Billy Power and Johnny Walker were later convicted of planting the bombs and given life sentences. The case against them was based mainly upon confessions signed by Callaghan, McIlkenny, Power and Walker and a forensic test (the 'Greiss Test') carried out by a Home Office scientist, Dr Frank Skuse, which had allegedly found traces of nitro- glycerine on the hands of two of the six. Insisting upon their innocence the six men appealed against conviction and their appeal was rejected in 1976. They then attempted to sue the West Midlands Police for injuries inflicted upon them in police custody following their arrest. This action was thrown out by Lord Denning in 1981. In 1987, following new scientific evidence unearthed by World in Action, the Home Secretary referred the case back to the Court of Appeal which again upheld the convictions. In March,1991, faced with compelling new evidence, including signs that the police notebooks had been extensively re-written, the Appeal Court finally quashed the convictions. Then men were freed and compensated for the 17 years they had spent in prison.

Page 55 of 136 Hull History Centre: Records of Chris Mullin MP

During the course of his investigation, Chris Mullin traced and interviewed each of the men he believes to be responsible for the bombings. Two gave detailed accounts of their role, one (heavily disguised) was the subject of the third World in Action programme on this case. Chris Mullin has consistently refused to disclose the names of the men he spoke to, on the basis of journalistic integrity and that they are already known to the police. In addition to four documentaries (in 1985, 1986, 1990 and 1991) Granada Television produced a drama documentary entitled 'Who Bombed Birmingham?' starring John Hurt (as Mullin) and Martin Shaw. Chris Mullin's book, 'Error of Judgement' was published first in 1986 and revised editions were published in 1990 and 1997. Billy Power's daughter, Breda Power, was awarded the Martin Ennals (civil liberties) award in 1991 (see DCL/1046/27). Richard McIlkenny died, in Dublin, on 21 May 2006.

U DMU/5/2 Guildford Four and Maguire Seven Case 1977-2000 Subseries contains files relating to the related cases of the Guildford Four and the Maguire Seven. Includes correspondence, press cuttings, copy court papers, reports, and audio visual recordings.

Background on the cases of the Guildford Four and the Maguire Seven In the months before the Birmingham Bombings [see U DMU/5/1], a similar IRA campaign was underway in and around Greater London. This led to the bombings of two pubs in Guildford ('The Horse and Groom' and 'The Seven Stars') on 5th October 1974 and a pub in

Page 96 of 136 Hull History Centre: Records of Chris Mullin MP

Woolwich ('The King's Arms') on 7th November 1974. Seven people were killed. The police arrested Paul Hill who confessed and named in his confession the other three people who, along with Hill, would come to be known as the Guildford Four: Gerry Conlon, Carol Richardson and Patrick Armstrong. In October 1975 all four defendants were found guilty, and the three men were given life imprisonment sentences and Richardson (who was 17 at this time) was detained at her majesty's pleasure. Hill's statement had also mentioned his Aunt and Uncle, Annie and Patrick Maguire. On this basis the Police raided their house in Harlesden and arrested not only the Maguires but also their two children, Annie's brother Sean Smyth, Guiseppe Conlon (Gerry Conlon's father) and the Maguire's neighbour, Patrick O'Neill. The only evidence against them was based on chemical swabs taken from their hands, the results of which were subsequently destroyed. All seven were found guilty and given prison sentences ranging from 4 to 14 years. Guiseppe Conlon would die of tuberculosis while in prison. Then, in December 1975 an IRA Active Service Unit were arrested at Balcombe Street, Marylebone, after a six-day police 'siege'. These men had, for more than a year, been carrying out the bombing campaign around Greater London. They claimed to have been responsible for the Guildford and Woolwich bombings and gave detailed accounts of how they had been carried out. The charges against them never included these offences; it subsequently emerged that the evidence against them had been edited to avoid having to charge them with the offences for which four people had already been convicted. Nevertheless, the statements given by the Balcome Street IRA were considered to be sufficient evidence to hold an appeal into the convictions of the Guildford Four opened at the Old Bailey on 10th October 1977. Hill and Conlon had long maintained that their confessions were false and had been obtained by police brutality and threats, while Armstrong and Richardson had been interviewed while suffering from amphetamine withdrawal. The Judges at the Old Bailey denied leave to an appeal or a re-trial. A second appeal in 1989 was successfully, the Four's convictions were declared unsafe and were quashed on the afternoon of 19 October 1989.

U DMU/5/3 Carl Bridgewater Case 1991-1997 Subseries contains files relating to the case of Carl Bridgewater. Includes correspondence, press cuttings, copy court papers and a video recording.

Background to the case of Carl Bridgewater Carl Bridgewater, a Nottinghamshire paper-boy, interrupted an armed-robbery at Yew Tree Farm on 19 September 1978. he was later found dead from a shot- gun wound to the head. When arrested for a similar armed-robbery at a nearby farm, Michael Hickey, Vincent Hickey (his cousin), James Robinson and Patrick Molloy were charged with Carl's murder. Patrick Molloy signed a confession stating that the other three men had murdered Carl while he was burgling the house. He was charged with manslaughter and the others with murder. Soon after they were convicted Herbert Spencer, an ambulance driver, was convicted of committing a nearly identical murder at a neighbouring farm, Spencer had also been questioned by police soon after Carl's murder. It later emerged that Molloy (who died in prison on 12 June 1981) claimed he had made his statement under duress and after brutalization by police officers, and had signed a blank form that the police subsequently completed. There had been a complete lack of other evidence against the four and the fingerprints found on Carl's bike did not match any of theirs. Even the foreman of the Jury that found the four men guilty publicly expressed doubts about the safety of their convictions. The investigative journalist and left-wing activist Paul Foot (1936 - 2004) wrote a book 'Murder at the Farm' about the innocence of the four and the possible culpibility of Herbert Spencer. In 1997, the Court of Appeal quashed all four convictions.

U DMU/5/4 Judith Ward Case 1974-1997 Subseries contains files relating to the case of Judith Ward. Includes correspondence, press cuttings, copy court records and a video recording.

Background to the case of Judith Ward When Judith Ward was arrested sleeping rough in Liverpool, she quickly confessed to the bombing of a coach on 4 February 1974. The coach had been travelling along the M62 from Manchester to the Catterick army barracks in North Yorkshire; the explosion killed 12 people, including 2 children. She also claimed to be a lieutenant in the IRA. Forensic (Greiss) tests carried out by Dr Frank Skuse (the forensic scientist involved in the Birmingham case) found traces of nitro-glycerine under her fingernails. She received 12 life sentences for murder and a further 30 years for two other bombings (at Euston Station and the National Defence College) she had confessed to. While in Police custody Ward had made some 28 statements, which were riddled with inconsistencies and contrary information. The first of these were obtained in a period of 28 hours, during which Ward had not slept. The solicitors defending Judith Ward, and the Jury at the trial, were only made aware of information from a limited number of these statements, giving the impression of a much more coherent series of confessions. Ward had long had a reputation for fantasy, embellishment of the truth and outright lying to get attention. By the events of 1974, it is believed that her 'personality disorder' had become a full-blown mental illness. She has almost no memory of the events surrounding her arrest. Judith Ward was eventually released on 11 May 1992.
