question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the cost of the legal advice gained by the Metropolitan Police Service and Crown Prosecution Service which led to the policy of investigating the chant of "yids" by Tottenham Hotspur supporters by the Metropolitan Police Service prior to the Prime Minister's comments on the matter on 16 September 2013; and what was the cost of the advice gained after that date.

The Crown Prosecution Service has no specific policy relating to the chanting of the word &quot;yids&quot; by Tottenham Hotspur supporters and incurred no legal advice costs on this specific issue. The case against the three Tottenham Hotspur supporters was discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service prior to the adjourned date of the hearing, without parties having to attend court, and without the associated costs being incurred. <br><br>The Crown Prosecution Service National Football lead has been consulted on a number of occasions regarding whether the use of the word &quot;yid&quot; could amount to a criminal act. The general advice given on each occasion was that each case depends on its specific facts. In relation to the case that was dropped against the three Tottenham Hotspur supporters, the police contacted the Crown Prosecution Service prior to charge. Advice was given that there was a realistic prospect of conviction. It subsequently transpired that the further evidence was not available and the case was therefore discontinued. Prior to the discontinuance a meeting took place between senior police officers and the Crown Prosecution Service officials.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach grouped question UIN HL6474 HL6475 question first answered 15/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
