Written question asked by Lord Sarwar (Labour) on Tuesday, 28 October 2014, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 30 October 2014. It was answered by Robert Buckland (Conservative) on Tuesday, 4 November 2014 on behalf of the Attorney General.


GPT Special Project Management

Question

To ask the Attorney General, how many meetings staff from the Serious Fraud Office have had with officials of the Ministry of Defence in relation to its investigation into GPT Special Project Management Ltd; and on what dates those meetings took place.

Answer

The Attorney General and I meet the Director frequently to discuss a variety of issues. However, as was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Government’s policy to provide details of all such meetings.

The Serious Fraud Office announced in August 2012 that the Director had opened a criminal investigation into allegations concerning GPT and aspects of the conduct of their business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, however it would not be appropriate to give a running commentary on the progress of current investigations.
