HC Deb 19 October 1992 vol 212 c33W
Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will investigate the circumstances which led to the collapse of International Investments Ltd., Gibraltar, and seek compensation for British subjects whose investments were misappropriated.

Mr. Garel-Jones

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer given on 14 July 1992 by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in reply to a previous question on this subject by the hon. Member for Antrim, East (Mr. Beggs) International Investments Limited was registered in Gibraltar, not in the United Kingdom, and this is therefore a matter for the Gibraltar authorities, not Her Majesty's Government.
