To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon on 2 December 2009 (WA 55) and the letter from the Acting Director of Public Prosecutions in Northern Ireland dated 11 February 2010 (deposited in the Library of the House as paper DEP2010/0497), why the decision to prosecute two individuals for criminal damage to the City Church was reversed on the grounds of their age and previous good behaviour. [HL2758]

This is an operational matter for the Acting Director of Public Prosecutions. I have asked him to reply directly to the noble Lord and will arrange for a copy of the letter to be placed in the Library of the House.
