WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL BY DEPUTY OF GROUVILLE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2013
Question
Further to the re-zoning of 7 sites for sheltered housing in July 2008, and the referral of two constituents with their complaints to the States of Jersey Police that same year, could the Attorney General inform members whether he or the Solicitor General were asked to review papers referred to them by the States of Jersey Police with a view to instigating a prosecution and, if so, did these papers refer to all the sites? If not, how many sites were referred to in the papers considered?
Answer
Ordinarily, the Law Officers Department do not comment on particular details of a criminal investigation, advice that may or may not have been obtained by the police during the course of their investigation, or any prosecution decision.
The Chief Minister made a public statement on 16th October 2012 that confirmed that the police found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. The Law Officers have nothing to add to that statement.
