The Attorney-General

I have nothing to add to the two statements issued by my Department and published on 23rd and 28th June.

Mr. Dalyell

What has the Attorney-General's Department learned from its bout inThe Times with Bernard Levin?

The Attorney-General

I am sorry, but I cannot hear the hon. Gentleman.

Mr. Dalyell

Has the Department come to any conclusions as a result of its confrontation with Mr. Levin inThe Times?

The object of the statements was to correct gross errors in fact and misunderstandings of law and of duty in public prosecution.
