Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Serious Fraud Office Investigation.
Serious Fraud Office Investigation
The Solicitor-General has told the House that the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and the Defence Secretary have expressed the view that the continuation of the investigation would be damaging to UK-Saudi co-operation and that the Attorney-General and the SFO are unable to take into account potential effects on relations with another state. Does he not recognise that the distinction between UK-Saudi co-operation and UK-Saudi relations is a very fine one? What weight and significance was placed on the representations made by the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and the Defence Secretary?
