Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Solicitor-General if he will publish the papers he has concerning the request made to the Attorney-General
for permission to pursue a private prosecution of General Pinochet for the death of William Beausire and Father Michael Woodward.
[113942]
The Solicitor-General: Applications for Law Officer consent to prosecute Senator Pinochet were received from three firms of
solicitors. The offences alleged which required Law Officer consent concerned torture contrary to section 134 of the Criminal
Justice Act 1988 and hostage taking contrary to the Taking of Hostages Act 1982. The allegations against Senator Pinochet concerned
a number of different victims.
My right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Aberavon (Sir J. Morris) considered applications from the first two firms of
solicitors when he was Attorney- General. The last application was considered by myself. The applications were taken seriously and
given careful consideration. We received counsel's advice on them. Having done so consent was refused in respect of each
application.
It would not be appropriate for me to publish material that others have submitted in support of their applications for Law Officer
consent. That is for the solicitors. The reason why consent was declined was explained to the solicitors at the time and outlined in
my statement to the House on 2 March 2000, Official Report, columns 589-92.

Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Solicitor-General what reports he has received concerning the disappearance of William Beausire in Santiago
in 1974; and what requests he has received for a private prosecution. [106029]
The Solicitor-General: Solicitors acting for a number of individuals applied for Law Officer consent to prosecute Senator Pinochet
for offences of torture and hostage taking. The papers included reference to William Beausire. On 11 February 1999, the then
Attorney- General considered the application and took advice from Treasury Counsel. The solicitors were advised that consent to
prosecute was declined. The basis of that decision is that the relevant legislation is not retrospective and the material supplied
by the solicitors in support of the application provided insufficient admissible evidence to justify a prosecution.
