§ Mr. Tom King[holding answer 21 June 1988]: I have seen only those parts of the Stalker-Sampson report which have a direct bearing on my responsibility for policing matters. I have therefore no knowledge of what evidence exists of possible offences relating to perverting the course of justice or of any person who might have been involved.
