HC Deb 01 July 1986 vol 100 cc455-6W
Mr. Dubs

asked the Attorney-General if he will refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions the new evidence revealed in the programme "Spying for the Comrades" of 12 April regarding the passing of classified information to a foreign diplomat.

The Solicitor-General

All the information contained in the programme referred to by the hon. Member was available to the officers of the Metropolitan police responsible for investigating the allegations made against Mr. Brian Gentlemen and it was all taken into account by the Director of Public Prosecutions when reaching his decision. He concluded that there was no evidence sufficient to justify the institution of criminal proceedings against Mr. Gentlemen.
