HC Deb 16 November 1989 vol 160 c380W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Attorney-General if he will direct the Director of Public Prosecutions to reconsider his decision not to initiate criminal investigations as to the circumstances surrounding the death of Rudolf Hess in Spandau prison in August 1987 in respect of(a) the unexplained disappearance of the flex by which the asphyxiation was reported to be caused and (b) the unauthorised destruction of the garden shed in which the death occurred.

The Attorney-General

No. The Director of Public Prosecutions has advised the Metropolitan police that there is no cogent evidence as the basis for further investigation. I see no justification for doing as the hon. Member asks.
