Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Barrett (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Vera Baird (Labour) on Thursday, 26 November 2009 on behalf of the Solicitor General.
Bribery Bill
- Question
- What recent discussions she has had with the Attorney-General on the implications of the proposed Bribery Bill for the role of the Attorney-General.
- Answer
-
The Bribery Bill will no longer require the consent of the Attorney-General or the Solicitor-General before a prosecution for an offence under the measure can start. Instead, it will require the consent of the director of the relevant prosecuting authority. The Bill does not alter the role of the Attorney-General in any other way.
