The Miners’ Strike (Pardons) Bill would grant pardons to miners who were convicted of certain offences during the 1984–85 miners’ strike. It defines which offences are covered and sets out how the pardons would be granted, with the aim of recognising past events and, where appropriate, clearing affected records.
The bill is currently at the second reading stage in the House of Commons. If it passes this stage, it would move on to committee and subsequent stages.
