HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c4W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Attorney-General if he is satisfied with the resources available to the Director of Public Prosecutions; and if he considers that an increase in those resources would speed up consideration of the Bingham report.

The Attorney-General

The resources of the Director of Public Prosecutions is a matter which I keep under continuous review. The consideration of the Bingham report would not be speeded up by any increase in them.

Mr. Dobson

asked the Attorney-General how long in total he expects the Director of Public Prosecutions to consider the evidence from the Bingham report before deciding whether or not to recommend prosecution.

The Attorney-General

I am unable to estimate how long it will take the Director to conclude his consideration of matters raised in this long and complex report.
