BARCLAY REPORT - PAMELA LAWRENCE MURDER
Quite some notice has been given to the minister. I refer to the work of Professor Barclay, the independent consultant engaged by the Commissioner of Police to review the original police investigation of the murder of Pamela Lawrence. (1) Has Professor Barclay reported back to the Commissioner of Police yet, in preliminary, final or any other form, orally or in writing, on any of his findings or views concerning the original police allegation that Andrew Mallard murdered Pamela Lawrence? (2) If yes, on the basis of Deputy Commissioner Dawson’s public undertaking that Professor Barclay’s report would be made public, when will that be done? Mr J.C. KOBELKE
