Mr. Vaz

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on instructions he has given to recover public funds from Barlow Clowes by means of legal proceedings against the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.

Mr. Nelson

An application in the names of the Treasury, Barlow Clowes liquidators and receivers, and others for leave to serve proceedings against BCCI is pending before the court. It would not be appropriate to comment on this or any other action arising out of the Barlow Clowes affair which is before the court.
