Asked by: Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative - North East Somerset)
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what information he holds on the current status of the EU's review of compensation due to Robert McCoy; what official UK involvement there has been in investigating the criminal allegations originally made by him; what legal support has been provided to him; if he will ensure that all outstanding anti-fraud cases relating to EU institutions and involving UK nationals as eye-witnesses are resolved as part of negotiations on the UK leaving the EU; and if she will make a statement.
Answered by Elizabeth Truss
The UK Government does not monitor official investigations or legal cases that the EU has initiated against its own staff, irrespective of nationality. The conduct of these investigations and cases is a matter for the EU.
