Duties

The Attorney General for England and Wales "superintends" the work of the Crown Prosecution Service by having regular meetings and also answers for it in the UK Parliament. The Attorney can also claim "national security" grounds to influence the conduct of prosecutions.

Coverup of Establishment Paedophilia

In April 1981 Sir Michael Havers, the Attorney General, stated in parliament that while Peter Hayman was a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange, he was never a member of the executive committee, so was not prosecuted as others were for publishing contact advertisements.[1][2]

It is uncertain whether this is related to the 2015 report of a former detective: "I was in a car with two other vice squad officers... The detective sergeant said he had just had a major child abuse investigation shut down by the CPS regarding a royal and an MP."[3]
