§ Mr. John MorrisTo ask the Attorney-General whether he will consult the Director of Public Prosecutions with a view to him asking a police force, other than that of Greater Manchester, to investigate what transpired necessitating the discontinuance of the Taylor prosecution and, in particular, the implications arising from the application to the judge which was wrongly based.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe Director of Public Prosecutions has referred to the chief constable of Greater Manchester certain aspects of evidence given by police witnesses for the prosecution, for the chief constable to consider whether a police investigation should be instituted. The decision whether there should be such an investigation (and, if so, by whom) is one for the chief constable.
