HC Deb 14 July 1986 vol 101 cc318-9W
Mr. Alex Carlile

asked the Attorney-General when the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland expects to receive the final report about the conduct of the Royal Ulster Constabulary in relation to the deaths in 1982 of Michael Tighe and others begun by Mr. John Stalker, and continued by the chief constable of West Yorkshire; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

Mr. Colin Sampson will submit his final report to the Chief Constable of the RUC whose duty will then be to furnish that report to the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland for consideration. Although Mr. Sampson, who is actively and urgently pursuing his investigations, has assured the Director of Public Prosecutions that a final report will be submitted to the Chief Constable as soon as possible, I am not able to give the hon. Member any indication as to when the final report will be submitted to the Chief Constable or when it will be furnished by him to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
