§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Attorney-General what are the procedures for bringing an action for perjury against a named individual. [5503]
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe question of prosecution of any individual for perjury cannot be considered until there has been a criminal investigation. It is the function of the police to investigate alleged crime and the proper course for an hon. Member having evidence showing the commission of an offence would be to place that evidence in the hands of the police.
