§ Mr. LansleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of reports that funds meant for Far East prisoners of war were retained by the Swiss Government after the war; and if he will make a statement. [62310]
§ Mr. FatchettThis is not the first time that a story about alleged misuse of funds paid through Switzerland has been published in the press. In 1995, we carried out a detailed investigation, which concluded that we had no evidence that any money had been misappropriated.
