HC Deb 25 June 1951 vol 489 cc109-10W
104. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Attorney-General whether he has now received a report from the Director of Public Prosecutions about Mrs. Monica Felton; and whether he proposes to institute proceedings against her for treason.

106. Mr. Fisher

asked the Attorney-General if he has yet received a report from the Director of Public Prosecutions on the case of Mrs. Monica Felton; and if he will make a statement.

107. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Attorney-General whether he has now reached a decision about the case of Mrs. Monica Felton.

The Attorney-General

I have now received a full report. The advice which I have received from the Director of Public Prosecutions and from Treasury Counsel, whose opinion was taken on my instructions, is that there is at present insufficient evidence to found any criminal charge against Mrs. Felton. I agree with this advice, and accordingly do not intend to direct the institution of criminal proceedings against her.
