§ 48. Mr. A. Lewisasked the Attorney-General what action was taken by the Director of Public Prosecutions as a result of representations made to him on 4th February by a solicitor, Mr. Clogg, and counsel, Mr. Mark Littman, in regard to the formulation of criminal charges.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe Director of Public Prosecutions advised Mr. Clogg and Mr. Littman that the evidence submitted to him by them would not justify a prosecution.
§ Mr. LewisMay I ask the Attorney-General when that information was given, because during the debate last week the 943 right hon. and learned Member for Chertsey (Sir L. Heald), who was also one of the great legal luminaries, including the two mentioned, thought there was sufficient evidence and he knew nothing about this information as recently as last Monday? May we know when the decision was taken?
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe decision was taken on 5th February when Mr. Clogg and Mr. Littman saw the Director of Public Prosecutions.
