HC Deb 31 July 1997 vol 299 c551W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action the Metropolitan police intend to take in respect of the unlawful killing of Shiji Lapite; and if he will make a statement. [11283]

Mr. Michael

The matter is now in the hands of the Director of Public Prosecutions to review the decision not to institute criminal proceedings. The Police Complaints Authority will review its decision not to pursue a disciplinary charge in this case, but cannot do so until the outcome of the DPP's review of the papers. The Metropolitan police have undertaken to co-operate fully.
