<p> </p><p>Lady Justice Hallett did not publish the names of OTRs in her report, with
the exception of John Downey. She was clear that her decision not to do so was not
“a result of any ‘whitewash’” but rather, “as a matter of law” she “was not entitled
to do so”. Indeed, she has been “scrupulously careful not to reveal details of offences
in which any OTR was a suspect… so as not to prejudice any future criminal trials”.</p><p>In
the same way, and as I made clear in answering questions following my statement on
17 July about the report, I will not release the personal information of those involved
in the scheme nor any other information which might prejudice any future trials. As
Lady Justice Hallett has said, people “would not thank me if I inadvertently contributed
to another successful abuse of process investigation”.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
