HC Deb 29 July 1975 vol 896 c415W
Mr. Corbett

asked the Attorney-General whether, and if so which, prosecutions are being considered for alleged offences under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.

The Attorney-General

None.

Mr. Corbett

asked the Attorney-General what are the factors taken into account in deciding whether a prosecution shall go forward for alleged offences under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.

The Attorney-General

The Director of Public Prosecutions has regard to the same factors as in other decisions, that is to say, whether the evidence is sufficient to justify a prosecution, and whether a prosecution would be in the public interest.
