HC Deb 14 July 1999 vol 335 c208W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Attorney-General if he and the CPS will meet the hon. Member for Worthing, West in connection with the fatal attack in Brighton on Mr. Jay Abatan. [90748]

The Attorney-General

Criminal proceedings are currently being brought against two defendants following the incident which resulted in the death of Mr. Jay Abatan. So long as these matters remain sub judice it would not be proper for me, the Chief Crown Prosecutor, or his staff, to discuss the case with either the hon. Member, or his constituent who is a vital witness in the case. I understand that the Chief Crown Prosecutor for Sussex will be pleased to meet the hon. Member or his constituent when the case has been completed.
