§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Attorney-General when he now expects to give the full and complete taxed costs of the legal case involving the Daily Telegraph on the recent secrets case; and whether these include the prosecution costs of committal proceedings, costs of proceedings against those accused and all costs, however incurred, in connection with this case.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI assume the hon. Member is referring to the case involving theSunday Telegraph. I informed the hon. Member of the total prosecutions costs, including the cost of the committal proceedings, in my answer of 19th April. The defence costs have not yet been taxed at the Central Criminal Court. I will inform the hon. Member when the latter figure is available.—[Vol. 815, c. 341.]
