§ Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, in the light of the Swiss-American Agreement on disclosure of information by Swiss banks about accounts held by suspected drug traffic- 394W kers, details of which are in his possession, he will initiate talks with the Swiss Government on bank disclosures to Scotland Yard, on the subject of drug peddlers' accounts.
§ Mr. KershawAny action taken by the Swiss Government to block funds belonging to suspected drug traffickers or to obtain disclosure of their bank accounts is clearly a matter for that Government. As far as I know, no agreement of the type referred to by the hon. Member has yet been concluded. British police forces seek the co-operation of the Swiss authorities through Interpol in appropriate cases.
