Mr. McFall
To ask the Attorney-General if he has any plans to widen the remit of the Serious Fraud Office; and if he will make a statement.
The Attorney-General
The statutory remit of the Serious Fraud Office is to investigate and prosecute suspected offences involving serious complex fraud. I do not consider any revision necessary.
