§ Mr. VazTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many claims have been submitted in the former deposits of BCCI under the provisions of the Deposit Protection Board; how much has so far been paid to them; and how much is to be paid.
§ Mr. NelsonAs at 7 January 1993 some 16,700 claims had been lodged with the Deposit Protection Board. Of these the claims so far processed have given rise to compensation payments totalling £60.5 million. The size of the eventual payment to these claimants will depend on the scale and nature of claims still to be processed.
