Departments: Eligo International Ltd

Mr. Hoban
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what the (a) date, (b) value and (c) purpose was of each payment made by her Department or its agencies to Eligo International Ltd since 1997.

Mr. Hoon
There is no record of payments made by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in the UK to Eligo International Ltd in this time frame. To establish whether FCO missions overseas have made payments to the company would require each post to check accounts for each of the last 10 years. This would incur disproportionate cost.
