§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Attorney-General in respect of how many requests for his consent to initiate (a) noncriminal and (b) criminal litigation that consent was refused during the three months October to December 1976; and what were his reasons for refusing in each case.
§ The Attorney-General(a) None; (b) two. In the first, other charges not requiring my consent were substituted and 10W the proceedings are still continuing. In the second, I considered that the evidence was insufficient to support the charge.
§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Attorney-General if he will list all the offences which may be prosecuted only with his consent and with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions, respectively.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI shall write to my hon. Friend with a complete list of offences in the very near future.
