Serious Fraud Office

Question
To ask the Solicitor-General pursuant to the answer of 1 December 2005, Official Report, column 731W, on the Serious Fraud Office, if he will place in the Library the paper commissioned by the Attorney General from the Serious Fraud Office on the policy and legislative changes they thought would assist them in the investigation and prosecution of overseas corruption offences.
Answer

Further to my answer of 1 December 2005 a consultation paper was issued on 8 December 2005 by the Home Office entitled ““Reform of the Prevention of Corruption Acts and SFO Powers in cases of bribery of foreign officials””. This reflects submissions made to me by the Director of the Serious Fraud Office. A copy of the consultation document can be found at:www.homeoffice.gov.uk/documents/2005-cons-bribery?version=1
