HC Deb 05 April 1995 vol 257 c1268W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions the Crown Office has had with Mr. Ron Smith of Scottish Woodlands Ltd., Castle Douglas, about a red and orange tarpaulin found at Lockerbie, before Christmas 1988.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

As my noble and learned Friend the Lord Advocate has made clear in relation to the Lockerbie case, as in any other case, it is not appropriate for the investigating or prosecuting authority to give details of investigative steps which have been taken.
