HC Deb 10 June 1993 vol 226 c301W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will now make a direction to proceed under section 6 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 against Mr. Asil Nadir.

Mr. Heseltine

On 25 November 1991 a bankruptcy order was made against Mr. Asil Nadir and he is disqualified from acting as a company director until discharged—normally three years. The Official Receiver is considering applying to the court to suspend the discharge period until Mr. Nadir has fully co-operated.

If the suspension is granted then an application under section 6 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 will not be necessary.
