Operation Conifer: Sir Edward Heath

Baroness Williams of Trafford
The noble Lord is right that an inquiry may well look into such a matter but, as I have just outlined, an inquiry is a matter for the police and crime commissioner.
Lord Campbell-Savours (Lab)
My Lords, I understand that the review of Operation Midland cost approximately £200,000. That was a review of Nick’s accusations against Sir Edward Heath and others. What does the Civil Service or others estimate it would cost to review Operation Conifer? If Ministers are not able to give us that figure today—I suspect it is available within the department—can we be assured that we will be given it in a Written Answer?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
It would be hard for me to give the cost of a review of Operation Conifer, given that a review has not been commissioned.
