MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Eifion)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that at the Rhyl Police Court on the 30th November last a woman named Jane Lloyd prosecuted a man for indecent assault, and in cross-examination falsely swore that she had been legally married to one Lewis Lloyd, with whom she lived as his wife, and that one John Jones to whom she had been married was dead; and whether these facts have been communicated to the Public Prosecutor; and, if so, on what grounds has he declined to take any proceedings to punish the perjury?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTThe case referred to was reported to the Director of Public Prosecutions, who, after careful consideration of all the facts, and after communicating with the chief constable and the clerk to the justices, decided not to take action.
