Analytic formulae are given for QCD corrections to the lepton spectra in decays of polarised up and down type heavy quarks. These formulae are much simpler than the published ones for the corrections to the spectra of charged leptons originating from the decays of unpolarised quarks and polarised up type quarks. Distributions of leptons in semileptonic $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ decays can be used as spin analysers for the corresponding heavy quarks. Thus our results can be applied to the decays of polarised charm and bottom quarks. For the charged leptons the corrections to the asymmetries are found to be small in charm decays whereas for bottom decays they exhibit a non-trivial dependence on the energy of the charged lepton. Short life-time enables polarisation studies for the top quark. Our results are directly applicable for processes involving polarised top quarks.
