Conduct Of The President Of The Board Of Trade (No.2)

EDM number 2118 in 1992-93, proposed by Barbara Roche on 08/06/1993.

That this House is astonished that the Department of Trade and Industry has admitted that the President of the Board of Trade had a word with the Attorney General about the case of Asil Nadir before he breached bail to flee to the illegal regime of northern Cyprus; notes that he is the third Minister known to have contacted the Attorney General about Nadir; is convinced that it is not the job of Ministers to make representations to protect a private individual charged with defrauding the public; and calls on the President of the Board of Trade to restart the proceedings in his Department to ban Asil Nadir as a company director.

This motion has been signed by a total of 83 MPs.
