HC Deb 30 October 1986 vol 103 c204W
Mr. Sedgemore

asked the Attorney-General if he will call on the Director of Public Prosecutions to investigate the circumstances surrounding the firing of a loaded pistol in the council chamber of the London borough of Hackney on 22 October.

The Attorney-General

No. The director has neither the facilities nor the powers necessary for the investigation of alleged crime. That is the function of the police, and I understand that an inquiry is in progress.
