Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


Letter to Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwelth Office, from the Chairman of the Committee[2]

  Thank you for your letter of 13 May, in reply to mine of 28 April about the Oil for Food Programme. The Committee has asked me to write again in the light of your reply, requesting further information.

  The Committee notes from your reply that documents relating to the corruption allegations "name a small number of UK individuals and entities". Without asking you to comment on the specific allegations of wrongdoing, I would like to receive answers to the following questions.

  How many UK individuals are named in the documents?

  What kind of "entities" are named in the documents?

  Were any of the individuals or entities named in the documents employed by, under contract to or in any other way answerable to a department or agency of the Government?

  I look forward to your reply.

Rt Hon Donald Anderson MP

Chairman of the Committee

27 May 2004
