§ 65. Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Attorney-General when he next intends to meet the Director of Public Prosecutions to discuss prosecution policy.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI expect to meet the director in just under three weeks' time.
§ Mr. Campbell-SavoursDid the Solicitor-General see the "Panorama" Wright interview, in which Wright said that he worked with one man during the period of the plot against the Wilson Government? Has he also noticed that, in his book, David Leigh indentifies that one man as Mr. Tony Brooks, who to this day lives in London and is a friend of an hon. Gentleman who was here a few minutes ago? Will that man be prosecuted? He lives in London and has been identified by Wright on television as working with him in illegal acts.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI am interested in the information that the hon. Gentleman gives. I shall see that it is considered by the appropriate authorities.
§ Mr. KnapmanWhen my hon. and learned Friend next meets the Director of Public Prosecutions, will he consider operating a policy against Scottish Labour Members, who are rarely in the Chamber?
§ The Solicitor-GeneralAs far as I know, that is not an offence.
§ Mr. FraserWhat other evidence has come to the Solicitor-General's attention that could corroborate the allegations made by Mr. Wright that have come to light since his book was published? Has there been much corroboration, and, if so, is it sufficient to re-open inquiries about whether criminal offences were committed?
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI cannot add to the answer that I gave to the hon. Member for Workington (Mr. Campbell-Savours).
