African National Congress (Office Bombing)

HC Deb 25 February 1997 vol 291 cc128-9W

Mr. Hain

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the progress of the police investigation into the bombing of the London office of the African National Congress in 1982. [16456]

Mr. Howard

I understand that the investigation is continuing. This has included interviews with a large number of people in South Africa, and is taking account of the disclosures which continue to be made in South Africa. When it is possible to conclude the police investigation, the Crown Prosecution Service will complete its own review of the evidence and advise the police accordingly.
