Mr. Arthur Lewis
asked the Attorney-General, in view of his public statement that he has known of cases where the police have corruptly charged, and secured convictions of, persons for crimes that they did not commit, what action he has taken or intends taking to deal with these illegalities; and whether he will make a statement.
The Attorney-General
I do not propose to make a statement. The phrase I used was "fitted-up" and when I used it I had in mind two specific cases in recent years, in each of which the police officer concerned was prosecuted for and convicted of the offences disclosed.
