HC Deb 07 November 2002 vol 392 cc498-9W
Paul Farrelly

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what contacts his Department's officials have had in the last three years with(a) John Bredenkamp and (b) companies controlled by or associated with John Bredenkamp. [80331]

Dr. Moonie

The Ministry of Defence has extensive contact with industry and individuals. It would therefore entail disproportionate costs to establish what contacts the Department's officials have had with particular individuals or companies in the last three years. The Government is aware of the allegations made against the named individual in the UN Panel Report, and the appropriate authorities are looking into them.
