CPS Huhne decision “very close”
Andrew Sparrow quotes Keir Starmer, Director of Public Prosecutions, saying on Five Live this morning:
We are very close to a decision. There is one remaining issue which is that we are seeking some material which is held by a national newspaper. That is the only thing we are waiting for now … I understand why people think it is taking a lot of time but the way in which we get material from journalists is an important principle, quite separate from the Chris Huhne case.
Chris Huhne vigorously denies all allegations. I should point out that the CPS have been trying to extract information from a national newspaper for several months, and said national newspaper has been reported as contesting the request. So, I’m not holding my breath on this.
