§ Mr. MaginnisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress has been made by the Northumberland Police in identifying those involved in the attempted murder of Martin McGartland at Whitley Bay on 17 June; and if he will make a statement. [89356]
§ Mr. BoatengThe investigation into this crime is a matter for the Chief Constable of Northumbria Police. I understand, however, that at the present time there is no firm evidence to establish responsibility for the shooting and inquiries are, therefore, continuing.
