HC Deb 27 March 1995 vol 257 c454W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if the Crown Office has sought to interview David Lovejoy about his advice to the Iranian chargé d'affaires in Beirut, Hussein Niknam, concerning the arrival of Charles McKee and Matthew Garnam in Beirut to obtain information on the locations of hostages. [16149]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

As my noble and learned Friend the Lord Advocate has made clear in relation to the Lockerbie case, as in any other case, it is not appropriate for the investigating or prosecuting authorities to give details of investigative steps which have been taken.
