HC Deb 14 June 1993 vol 226 cc389-90W
Mr. Robin Cook

To ask the Attorney-General if he will list the right hon. and hon. Members from whom he has received representations concerning the conduct of the Serious Fraud Office in respect of Mr. Asil Nadir, with the names of the person at whose request those representations were made in each case.

The Attorney-General

I refer the hon. Member to the written answer given to the hon. Member for Walsall, North (Mr. Winnick) on 10 June 1993, column334. It is not my policy to give details of such representations.

Mr. Cox

To ask the Attorney-General what discussions he has had and with whom, following the flight from the United Kingdom to northern Cyprus of Asil Nadir; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

Pursuant to my statutory duty to superintend the work of the director of the Serious Fraud Office, I have discussed the case with several properly interested persons. It is my practice not to give details of such discussions.

Mr. Barnes

To ask the Attorney-General how many representations he has received in the past year from right hon. and hon. Members concerning the Asil Nadir case; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

I have in the past year received a representation from two hon. Members about the Polly Peck investigation and prosecution. One hon. Member has raised an issue by means of a parliamentary question.
