HC Deb 08 April 1965 vol 710 cc94-5W
50. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the report of Mr. Arthur James, Q.C., on the public inquiry held to consider the circumstances in which it was possible for Sergeant Challenor to continue on duty when he appeared to have been affected by mental illness.

Sir F. Soskice

I am not yet able to say when Mr. James will complete his report.

52. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further criminal proceedings he expects to follow from the inquiry by the Chief Constable of Wolverhampton into the Challenor case, the report on which has now been presented to him; and if he will arrange for the report to be published.

Sir F. Sockice

The Commissioner informs me that, as the earlier police report on some of the cases inquired into by Mr. Goodchild was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions, he has thought it right to refer Mr. Goodchild's report also to the Director.

It is not the practice to publish reports police inquiries.
