Mr. Madden
To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what inquiries he has made into reports of the unauthorised use of a tape recorder by Ministry of Defence police in Pateley Bridge magistrates court on 2 April; what action he has taken; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. John M. Taylor
I understand that an allegation of unauthorised use of a tape recorder at the court was made to the clerk to the justices and that he has asked the Crown Prosecution Service to investigate. It is not a matter in which it would be proper for me to intervene.
