HL Deb 09 April 2001 vol 624 c140WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have knowledge of bank accounts opened with British banks by or on behalf of Mr Vladimiro Montesinos, an associate of former President Fujimori of Peru; and whether they have received requests for such accounts to be frozen. [HL1648]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

There is no central record of bank accounts in the United Kingdom but, on the basis of inquiries made in the time available, Her Majesty's Government are not aware of any such accounts held by or on behalf of Mr Montesinos. Her Majesty's Government do not confirm or deny the existence of letters of request, including requests for bank accounts to be frozen.
