	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2016 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not consider it possible to answer questions (a) and (b) with a number because of the degree of interpretation required to determine what may amount to a “contradiction” and what may be described materially as a “statement of fact”.</p><p>There are no contemporaneous documents from 1986. The memorandum of conviction, which is held in the form of a certified extract created some years later, contains the date of birth. The microfiche records, which are dated after 1986, also contain the date of birth.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 07/07/2016 09:04:08 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
