Criminal Memoirs (Publication for Profit) (PE504) The first petition is PE504, from Mr and Mrs James Watson, calling on the Parliament to urge the Government to take the necessary steps to prevent convicted murderers or members of their families from profiting from their crimes by selling accounts of their crimes for publication. The committee has expressed concern about the lack of progress on resolving the issues that are raised in the petition, which is the oldest petition that we have under active consideration.
