Former Sunderland MP and journalist urged to name Birmingham pub bombing culprits

A former Sunderland MP and journalist who said he knows the names of those responsible for the Birmingham pub bombings has been urged to tell police everything.

Chris Mullin, who was MP for Sunderland South from 1987 until 2010, has been urged to name the bombers who killed 21 people and injured 182 on November 21, 1974.

The 74-year-old said in 2019 during an inquest into the killings that he had given an assurance to them and the IRA he wouldn’t name them while they are alive, Birmingham Live reports.
