Solicitor-General

Question: To ask the Solicitor General, if she will investigate the public statement made by the leader of Al Mujaharoon, on 1st May on suicide bombing and on British Moslems joining its jihad; and if she will make a statement.

Answer: Mr. Dismore: To ask the Solicitor-General if she will investigate the public statement made by the leader of Al Mujaharoon, on 1 May 2003 on suicide bombing and on British Muslims joining its jihad; and if she will make a statement. [111875] The Solicitor-General: While I take all allegations of this type extremely seriously, I do not have any powers to investigate criminal matters. The police have responsibility for investigating criminal matters and for deciding whether or not to charge an offender. It would not therefore be appropriate for me to comment further.
