Mr Malkinson spent years in prison before his conviction was overturned. Greater Manchester Police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Criminal Cases Review Commission will all have their actions looked into.
While the inquiry is independent, it is not statutory and therefore not able to compel people to come before it.Greater Manchester Police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Criminal Cases Review Commission will all have their roles in Mr Malkinson's conviction and imprisonment reviewed.
Mr Chalk said:"The core function of our justice system is to convict the guilty and ensure the innocent walk free. Yet a man spent 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit while a rapist remained on the loose.He added that one of the reasons the inquiry was not statutory was to try and shorten the amount of time it would take.
"The CCRC has so far refused to apologise and take accountability. So, naturally, I am concerned that witnesses from these agencies may not co-operate and hand over all the evidence."
