Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what estimates he has made of the extent of fraud in the EU budget relating to decontamination payments following the Chernobyl accident. [87379]

My Department is unaware of any fraud in the EU budget relating to decontamination payments following Chernobyl. There has been no reference to this in reports by the Court of Auditors.

If my hon. Friend has any such information, I would be grateful for details.
