§ Mr. Silvesterasked the Attorney-General whether the Director of Public Prosecutions employs special criteria in deciding to prosecute a person for perjury on the basis of his own evidence in answer to a criminal charge to which he has unsuccessfully pleaded not guilty, if that person is a policeman; and if he will make a statement regarding his policy for the future.
The Attorney-GeneralIn the circumstances mentioned the Director of Public Prosecutions makes no distinction between a police officer and any other person. That policy will continue. Each case is dealt with entirely on its own merits.
