Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
I shall give way in a moment, first to the hon. Lady and then to the right hon. Lady. Something that worries me, hon. Members on both sides of the House and members of the police force is that there have been more occasions when someone has acted reasonably, in good faith and on the spur of the moment, but a police investigation has none the less taken place. Such an investigation may drag on for months, with all the anxiety that that involves. Two years ago, the CPS and the Association of Chief Police Officers produced an excellent joint leaflet that gave guidance about that.
