		The Prime Minister of the Government that succeeded the defeated administration proclaimed that a Cabinet instruction to the Attorney General to withdraw a prosecution was “unconstitutional, subversive of the administration of justice and derogatory to the office of Attorney General”.
		It does not mean that an individual Crown Attorney, in the discharge of his or her responsibilities as agent of the Attorney General, is free to do whatever he or she wishes, irrespective of the law, practice or the general guidelines or policies of the Attorney General.
		Under this approach, decisions are made in a detached, neutral way, and accountability falls where it should: on the Attorney General, through a publicly transparent process which ensures, throughout, that he (or she) must account for all prosecution decisions to Cabinet colleagues, the Legislature and, ultimately, the public.

	THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, POLITICS AND THE JUDICIARY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In considering the relationship of the Attorney-General of England to politics and policy in the United Kingdom, however, it is necessary to remember the nature of his role in government.
		The normal methods of terminating a prosecution in England are to tender no evidence or no further evidence, leading to a verdict of not guilty by direction or to seek the judge’s consent to withdraw the prosecution.
		It should hardly be necessary to state that the most fundamental aspect of the unique role of the attorney general is to safeguard the independence of the judiciary.
