Serious Fraud Office

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:How morale at the Serious Fraud Office has progressed since the cancellation of the investigation into the British Aerospace Al Yamamah arms deal with Saudi Arabia at the end of 2006.
Answer

Morale within the SFO remains high—the SFO has a heavy and continuing case load across a wide variety of investigations apart from those relating to overseas corruption. SFO staff members are professionals and well used to ongoing assessment of the various factors that may affect the continuance of an investigation. They recognise that not all investigations result in prosecution.
