Harry Roberts, whose 30-year life tariff for murder expired in 1996, has won legal aid to go to the Court of Appeal to challenge a Parole Board refusal to disclose to him "sensitive material" to be used in opposing his parole. Lawyers for Harry Roberts, currently at HMP Channings Wood, say that refusal to disclose such material is unlawful and unfair.
