Iraq: Sanctions
- Question
- Whether the Attorney-General will initiate proceedings against the Weir Group in connection with sanctions against Iraq.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the prosecution authorities in England and Scotland are reviewing the information on allegations against the Weir Group in connection with the UN’s Iraq Oil for Food programme, such as those contained in the final report of the independent inquiry committee published on 27 October 2005. It would not be appropriate to speculate about any course of action that may follow such consideration.
