HC Deb 01 May 1967 vol 746 cc85-6
40. Mr. Webster

asked the Attorney-General what papers have been referred in the case of Major Carr to the Director of Public Prosecutions; and what action has been taken.

The Attorney-General

A number of circulars and letters relating to this matter have been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the police are now conducting a further investigation.

Mr. Webster

In view of the wide publicity which has affected my constituent, will the right hon. and learned Gentleman either take action in the matter or have the matter closed in order that my constituent's name can be cleared?

The Attorney-General

As I have said, police inquiries are continuing. Whether they will result ultimately in the happy conclusion to which the hon. Gentleman has referred we shall have to wait and see.
