Police Inquiry

Asked if the Prime Minister had been informed as to what the next steps were for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the PMOS said that it was a matter for the CPS and the CPS alone. The PMOS added that the CPS had said, "Following media reports we wish to make it plain, once again, that it is not the role of any agency to ‘recommend’ charges to the CPS. Any decision on charges in the Cash for Honours case will be taken by the CPS alone after full and careful consideration of the police file of evidence and applying the Code for Crown prosecutors."

Asked if ‘any agency’ was directed to Lord Goldsmith, the PMOS said that it was up to the CPS to interpret their own words. Asked if the Prime Minister still had confidence in Lord Goldsmith as Attorney General, the PMOS said yes and that Lord Goldsmith had explained the constitutional reasons why he still retained the role.
