Home Affairs and Justice Committee Chairs publish response from the DPP

Committee correspondence:

The Home Affairs Committee and the Justice Committee have published a response to a joint letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to drop charges against two individuals for espionage offences under the Official Secrets Act 1911. 

Committee Chairs Conservative MP Dame Karen Bradley and Labour MP Andy Slaughter jointly wrote to the DPP Stephen Parkinson early last week asking the CPS to provide further details by October 8.  

The correspondence has been published on both Committees' websites and can be viewed here and here.
