Thursday 16th July 2020

Asked by: Lord Willoughby de Broke (Non-affiliated - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by the Prime Minister on 1 July (HC Deb, col 327), what steps they are taking to prosecute the person responsible for the death of WPC Yvonne Fletcher.

Answered by Lord Keen of Elie

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is not currently considering charges against anyone in relation to the tragic death of PC Yvonne Fletcher.

In any case referred to the CPS by the police, a decision to prosecute is made in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors, and a case must meet the evidential and public interest stages of the Code Test.

In accordance with the Code, the CPS will consider any new information that is referred to them by the police in relation to this case, and will continue to bring offenders to justice wherever possible.
