The Inquiry is independent of the Home Office, and its independence is crucial to its effectiveness. It would not, therefore, be appropriate for the Government to comment on or intervene in the Inquiry’s decision-making.
The Inquiry is responsible for deciding how best to structure its investigations to deliver its terms of reference and disclosure is a matter for the Inquiry. It is also a matter for the Metropolitan Police Service to make decisions independently of the Home Office on the management and disclosure of its records.
More information on the Inquiry’s evidence and disclosure process can be found on the Inquiry’s website.

I thank the Minister for introducing these draft statutory instruments. As he said, the Investigatory Powers (Covert Human Intelligence Sources and Interception: Codes of Practice) Regulations 2022 cover highly controversial changes made to the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 by the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Act 2021...

Right, so the point is about provoking others to commit criminal acts. What would be the view of that?
I remember the original debates when somebody—I am not sure whether it was the noble Lord, Lord Paddick—gave a very evocative example that hit home for me. It was of a 17...

On the point about agents provocateurs—that is, CHIS who are not just having to commit criminal acts to keep their cover but are perhaps actively encouraging others to commit crimes—the concern is not just about the 17 year-old girl in the prostitution example. There is a big concern here from...

The Undercover Policing Inquiry was set up by the then Home Secretary to inquire into and report on undercover police operations conducted by English and Welsh police forces in England and Wales since 1968. Under the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, this includes identifying and assessing the adequacy of the statutory, policy and judicial regulation of undercover policing and ascertaining the state of awareness of undercover police operations of Her Majesty’s Government. The Home Office is a Core Participant and, in addition to ongoing voluntary disclosure, is providing such assistance as is requested of it by the Inquiry. The Metropolitan Police Service is independent of Government and decisions on their statements and disclosure to the Inquiry are a matter for them. The Inquiry will report on its findings once all evidence has been reviewed.

The Home Office does not hold this information. On 10 March 2014 the Permanent Secretary commissioned Stephen Taylor, a former Director of Audit at the Audit Commission, to carry out a forensic review to establish the full extent of the Home Office’s knowledge of the Special Demonstration Squad for the 40 year period from 1968 to 2008. This review will be published soon.

To ask the Attorney General, if he will seek a review of the Crown Prosecution Service's decision not to prosecute the Metropolitan Police officers accused of starting sexual relationships with environmental activists.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will review any cases referred to it by the police in accordance with the two stage test that is set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors. Where there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest, such cases will be prosecuted.
The CPS has been working with officers conducting the Operation Herne investigation into the conduct of a number of officers.
On 21 August 2014 the Crown Prosecution Service issued a statement containing the reasons it gave for not prosecuting officers considered under Operation Aubusson, a subset of Operation Herne which is available at:
http://www.cps.gov.uk/news/latest_news/charging_decision_concerning_mps_special_demonstration_squad/
Since that date one person has requested that the case be re-reviewed under the Victims’ Right to Review scheme and that process is under way.
