To ask the Attorney-General what representations his Department is making to the Turkish authorities over the case of Mr. Nadir. [2210]

The Turkish authorities were notified, through Interpol, of the existence of a warrant for the arrest of Asil Nadir. They were asked to arrest him on his arrival in Turkey with a view to extradition. They have declined to do this because the Turkish constitution forbids extradition of Turkish citizens to other countries.
