Report into Mark Kennedy's secret tapes published tomorrow

A key report into the Mark Kennedy controversy is due to be published tomorrow morning. Back in the summer, Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, set up a judge-led inquiry into claims that prosecutors suppressed secret surveillance tapes recorded by Kennedy, the undercover police officer, in the trial of a group of environmental activists. The inquiry has been conducted by Sir Christopher Rose, a retired High Court judge. No word yet on his verdict. The background to the allegations can be found here and here . Starmer set up the inquiry following allegations published by the Guardian and BBC Newsnight that prosecutors had concealed vital evidence over the collapse of a trial against six activists accused of conspiring to break into the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station . The Crown Prosecution Service has chosen to announce the publication of the report late this afternoon - for some reason.
