HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c434W
46. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Attorney-General why the Director of Public Prosecutions, after the police had sent him the papers on the case, decided not to prosecute National Front members who were subsequently privately prosecuted and convicted of affray and other charges after seriously injuring members of the audience at an indoor meeting in Manchester.

The Attorney-General

I understand that notices of appeal are about to be served. In those circumstances, it would be proper to treat the case as if it were already again sub judice.
