§ Sir Teddy TaylorTo ask the Attorney-General when he expects the Director of Public Prosecutions to make a decision in respect of the complaint of alleged treason by Mr. Rodney Atkinson; how long the DPP has now been considering the complaint; and if he will make a statement.
§ The Attorney-GeneralComplaints of alleged treason made by Mr. Rodney Atkinson and Mr. Norris McWhirter were referred to the Crown Prosecution Service by the clerk to the justices at Hexham, Northumberland, on 9 September 1993. The Crown Prosecution Service wrote to the clerk to the justices on 22 October 1993 stating that, although it was entirely appropriate for the clerk to have referred the matter to the Crown Prosecution Service, the complaints themselves were misconceived and totally without foundation.
