§ Mr. Nelson[holding answer 17 November 1992]: Neither my right hon. Friend the Chancellor nor I are aware of any evidence that BCCI accounts were used to facilitate the trade of arms for Iraq. As for the Bingham report, my right hon. friend the Chancellor has already made it clear to the House that the balance of public interest weighs against publishing any of the appendices.
