HC Deb 18 December 1980 vol 996 c258W
26. Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will set out those principles on which he bases decisions to institute proceedings for contempt.

Mr. Whitelaw

We are unaware of any case in which the Home Office has instituted such proceedings except one which is sub judice and on which it would be inappropriate for me to comment.
