§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Attorney-General whether he will obtain from the Department of Trade and Industry the prima facie evidence sent to them by the hon. Member for West Ham, North, concerning bribery and corruption on the part of an official of one of the nationalised boards, and request the Director of Public Prosecutions to investigate the matter to see whether a prosecution should ensue.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI have seen the documents which the hon. Member sent to the Department of Trade and Industry. In my opinion, they disclose no grounds for asking the Director of Public Prosecutions to arrange for a police investigation.
