§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Attorney-General what action the Director of Public Prosecutions has taken in the light of the evidence of alleged interference with witnesses to the Hamilton-Howarth BBC trial submitted to the police by the hon. Member for Workington.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI understand that the only document provided by the hon. Member to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police is a letter dated 24 November 1984 from Mr. Philip Pedley to Mr. J. S. Gummer, then chairman of the Conservative party. This letter does not justify any police inquiry. No evidence of the nature suggested in the question has been made available to the Director.
