Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 2 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill.
Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill
My hon. Friend has provided five further examples of where the decision was taken not to prosecute. Some Opposition Members have argued that using the Attorney-General as a safeguard for prosecutions would provide greater certainty, but is it not the case that clarity in the law is what people need? Is it not more important than having a Law Officer take a decision on a prosecution?
