HC Deb 19 April 1999 vol 329 cc417-8W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what staff under his control are engaged in monitoring criminal activity by elements of the Kosovo Liberation Army; what is the nature of that activity; and if he will make a statement. [81243]

Mr. Straw

The investigation of criminal activity is an operational police matter and responsibility rests with the Chief Officer of the force in the area concerned.

I am not aware of any evidence that members of the Kosovo Liberation Army are committing criminal offences in this country.
