Jamie Bryson: Prosecutions

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will set up an independent review of the Security Industry Authority’s prosecution of Jamie Bryson, in particular with regard to the conduct of the Security Industry Authority and the public money spent on that prosecution.

Answer

The SIA is an operationally independent arm’s length body, responsible for the service it provides, including how it manages its private prosecutions.

The organisation is already accountable to Parliament for its activities, including its financial accounts, which are audited by the National Audit Office and laid in Parliament on an annual basis.

The SIA did not bring these proceedings against Mr Bryson and was therefore not involved.
