Solicitor-General

Question: To ask the Solicitor General, pursuant to her Answer of 7th February, 399 c467W, on Mrs Sally Clark, if she will make a statement on the implications for the Crown Prosecution Service of the case of Mrs Sally Clark.

Answer: Mr. George Osborne: To ask the Solicitor General pursuant to her answer of 7 February 2003, Official Report, column 467W, on Mrs. Sally Clark, if she will make a statement on the implications for the Crown Prosecution Service of the case of Mrs. Sally Clark. [107256] The Solicitor-General: The Court of Appeal has not yet given its detailed judgment in the case of Sally Clark. I will consider whether further investigation into the handling of the case by the Crown Prosecution Service is appropriate and assess the implications of the case for the CPS when I have had the opportunity to study the full Court of Appeal judgment. It would be premature to make such an assessment at this stage.
