Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what the criteria was for the removal of certain redactions from the Macur Review,published on 5 December 2017.

The Report of the Macur Review published on 17 March 2016 contained a number of redactions to avoid prejudicing ongoing and upcoming criminal prosecutions and trials. Most of the redactions in this category concerned the former North Wales Police superintendent, Gordon Anglesea.

The revised report, published on 5 December 2017, reinstates references to Gordon Anglesea except where there is any risk that victims, witnesses or other individuals might be identified.
