Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

10:00 am

Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

I do not have any figures for that. As I said, in the case of the investigations division only a small proportion of cases move to prosecution in the first instance. One can take it, therefore, that in those cases, we think the evidence is very strong. It is possible that some counsel over the years have told us they do not think the evidence is strong and recommend against prosecuting, in which case I imagine we would follow counsel opinion. I am not aware of such a case.
