HC Deb 30 January 1996 vol 270 cc688-9W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Attorney-General what action he proposes to take following the jury verdict of unlawful killing of Mr. Shiji Lapite; and if he will make a statement [12763]

The Attorney-General

Following the verdict of the inquest jury, the Crown Prosecution Service has requested transcripts of the evidence given at the inquest together with copies of any documents which may have been produced to the jury. Once this material has been carefully considered, together with the pre-inquest evidence, and any further inquiries which may prove necessary have been completed, the Crown Prosecution Service will decide whether criminal proceedings should be instituted.
