asked the Attorney-General whether the investigations relating to the affairs of the Parrot Corporation are now complete; what steps are being taken to apply for the extradition of Mr. Frank Peters; and whether any proceedings are to be commenced in respect of any other past directors or officials of the Parrot Corporation and any past or present officials of the Welsh Development Agency.

I am advised by the Director of Public Prosecutions that police inquiries into the affairs of the Parrot Corporation have been completed and a decision has been made regarding the institution of criminal proceedings. It would, however, not be in the interests of justice were I to divulge publicly any further information regarding this matter at this stage.
