<p>No Ministers or Home Office officials have any involvement in decisions about whether
to issue Arrest Warrants, nor did they have any involvement in the decision to issue
an Arrest Warrant for Ashya King’s parents. The decision to seek an Arrest Warrant
is an operational matter for the Police and the prosecuting authorities, in this case
the Crown Prosecution Service. Any decision about whether to issue a warrant is a
matter for a judge. The Director of Public Prosecutions told the Home Affairs Committee
in her evidence on this matter on 14 October 2014 that at the time, the Crown Prosecution
Service "reviewed the case" and "upon further evidence, reviewed it
again" which led to them contacting Spain to request that the Arrest Warrant
be discharged, which it was.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
