HC Deb 27 November 1972 vol 847 c5W
30. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney General whether he will inform the House when the Director of Public Prosecutions receives the police report on Real Estate Fund of America Company and its subsidiaries.

The Attorney-General

No. When the Director of Public Prosecutions receives the final police report, he will have to consider what action if any, should be taken. It is not the usual practice, nor is it in the public interest, to comment on police investigations while a question of criminal proceedings is still under consideration.
