§ Mr. Dalyellasked the Attorney-General whether the immunity granted in a leak inquiry pre-empts any possible decision by the police to institute a prosecution.
§ The Attorney-GeneralIf and to the extent that I authorise the grant of immunity from prosecution, its practical effect is to preclude prosecution by any other person or authority, including the police. The exact nature and extent of the immunity granted in any particular case will depend on the facts of that case.
