answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>On 6 October 2014 the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) accepted guilty pleas to one count of making an explosive substance, three counts of possessing a prohibited firearm and one count of putting a person in fear of violence by harassment. The pleas were accepted on the basis that if Harry Street’s mental health ever deteriorated to the same extent it had in 1978 he was undoubtedly capable of deploying the weapons.</p><p>The decision not to proceed with the four remaining counts was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors which provides: “Prosecutors should only accept the defendant’s plea if they think the court is able to pass a sentence that matches the seriousness of the offending”. In view of the evidence before the court, it was clear to the CPS that the sentence imposed by the court would be a restricted hospital order under section 37 and section 41 of the Mental Health Act 1983 whether he was convicted of all counts, or those which were accepted as pleas.</p><p>In making a restricted hospital order, the Learned Judge fully supported the approach taken by the CPS. The court ordered the remaining counts to lie on the file not to proceed without the leave of the court.</p><p>The decision to accept the guilty pleas on 6 October 2014 was taken following full consultation with the victims/ victims’ families for both the recent offences and the 1978 offences.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Mr Robert Buckland question first answered 01/12/2014 15:05:01 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>All information relating to convictions for recordable offences is retained on the Police National Computer (PNC). It is the Chief Constable's responsibility, as the data owner in law, to ensure that any data recorded on the <br>PNC is accurate. <br><br>When a person is recorded on the PNC it is done so in the name they provided to the police at the time of the event. That name lasts for the lifetime of the record and aliases are recorded as and when known and records are consolidated <br>where appropriate. <br><br>When a person is arrested their fingerprints may be taken, as well as a DNA sample. The fingerprints are checked against the criminal fingerprint system (IDENT 1). The individual’s DNA profile is also checked against the National <br>DNA Database (NDNAD). Where either of these biometric searches matches with the offender, the PNC records in relation to the previous results are automatically linked with the current arrest, regardless of the names previously used.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 15/12/2014 16:05:59 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
