§ Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Attorney-General if the status of a victim of crime as a Member of Parliament is treated as a public interest consideration in deciding whether to bring a prosecution against the alleged offender.
§ The Attorney-GeneralWhether the fact that a victim of crime is a Member of Parliament bears upon the public interest in prosecution of the alleged offender in any particular case will depend upon all the circumstances of that case. The Crown Prosecution Service may have in mind among other factors the matters in paragraph 6.4 of the code for Crown prosecutors—namely, whether the offence was committed against a person serving the public, or whether it was motivated by any form of discrimination against the victim's political views.
