HC Deb 27 February 1992 vol 204 c616W
Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what new evidence he has received about the responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing since 14 November.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The warrant issued on 14 November 1991 for the arrest of two Libyans for their involvement in the bombing of PA 103 resulted from an independent investigation lasting over three years. That investigation continues. As the Lord Advocate said in his announcement on 14 November 1991 proceedings are active for the purposes of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 and he cannot and will not comment on the evidence on which the charges are based. Nor can he comment on evidence received since the warrant was issued.
