§ Mr. VazTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with the Government of Abu Dhabi concerning that Government's proposal to compensate the victims of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has had no such discussions, but I raised the plight of BCCI staff and depositors in the United Kingdom during my visit to Abu Dhabi last October. The Abu Dhabi authorities were made aware that we should like to see depositors get as much of their money back from the BCCI as possible and the employees given fair severance terms.
