Lord Campbell-Savours

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What discussions have taken place with Strathclyde police about possible legal proceedings against the Weir Group for breaches of United Nations sanctions legislation in relation to Iraq. [HL4834]

Lord Evans of Temple Guiting

Any decision to take forward a prosecution against the Weir Group is for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) to make and Her Majesty’s Government have no locus to intervene.
