- Question
- Does my right hon. Friend share my anger and concern at the fake photographs published in the Daily Mirror that put British service personnel's lives at risk? And yet, we find that nobody is guilty and nobody is going to be charged in court; the whole thing seems to have been swept under the carpet. What can he do to put this matter right and to restore some credibility to the British justice system?
- Answer
-
I have to say to my hon. Friend that I entirely understand the concern—and, indeed, the anger—in certain quarters, but again, these decisions have to be taken by the prosecuting authorities. I think that I would quite rightly be subject to a great deal of criticism if I sought to intervene in those decisions.
