Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they were a party to the decision to appoint Dan Amstutz, a former senior executive of the grain exporter Cargill, to oversee the agricultural reconstruction of Iraq; and, if so, why this decision was made in preference to appointing one of the experienced agricultural development specialists available within the United Nations system.[HL2794]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean:

Her Majesty's Government were not involved in this appointment.
