HC Deb 25 June 1979 vol 969 c32W
39. Mr. Cryer

asked the Attorney General what prosecutions he is considering following receipt of recent Department of Trade reports under the Companies Acts.

The Attorney-General

None. I do not receive such reports as a general rule: they are submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions if they reveal evidence of the possible commission of criminal offences. He decides whether police inquiries are necesary and in that event whether, when they have been completed, criminal proceedings are called for.
