Priti Patel refuses to rule out criminal prosecutions following report into BBC Panorama interview

Telegraph, 23 May 2021
Home Secretary Priti Patel has refused to rule out criminal prosecutions following the publication of the Dyson report into the BBC's 1995 Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales.

Scotland Yard has said it will study the report's findings to assess whether it contains any "significant new evidence".

Asked on Andrew Marr's show about the prospect of prosecutions, Ms Patel said, "If there is subsequent action that needs to be taken, then clearly - alongside the publication of this report and lessons being learned and changes, changes to the institution, structure, governance, accountability - then that will follow."
