HC Deb 27 June 1996 vol 280 c250W
Mr. Tim Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what have been the total legal fees to date incurred in the Government's lawsuit against Arthur Andersen and Co. in the De Lorean case. [34565]

Mr. Ancram

The amount of legal fees incurred in the Government's action against Arthur Andersen and Co. in the De Lorean case is a matter between the Government and their lawyers. Disclosure while the legal action continues would not be in the public interest.
