HC Deb 28 June 1994 vol 245 c479W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Prime Minister (1) whether he will appoint an independent committee, like that of Lord Justice Scott, to investigate all aspects of money laundering by AGIP (Africa) Ltd;

(2) whether, further to his correspondence with the hon. Member for Great Grimsby, he has initiated inquiries into money laundering involving AGIP (Africa) Ltd.

The Prime Minister

As the hon. Gentleman will be aware, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales investigated the allegations of misconduct on the part of its members and concluded that there was insufficient evidence to justify bringing a disciplinary case against them.
