HC Deb 25 July 1955 vol 544 c83W
53. Mr. Teeling

asked the Attorney-General whether he will ensure that in all murder cases conducted by his Department all documents relevant to the case shall be made available to the defence without reference to whether they are admissible as evidence or not.

The Attorney-General

The prosecution already make available to the defence: copies of all relevant documents; the names and addresses of persons who can give material evidence but whom the prosecution do not propose to call as witnesses; copies of relevant statements made to the police by persons since deceased which are not admissible as dying declarations; and the names and addresses of persons other than police officers to whom such statements have been made.
