Government auditors must look into claims of complicity in corruption on arms deals with UK, says Labour peer
Alleged Ministry of Defence complicity in the “national scandal” of bribery on arms deals in Saudi Arabia must be investigated by government auditors, a senior Labour politician has said.
Peter Hain, the antiapartheid campaigner and peer, said in a letter to the National Audit Office that a “timely, targeted” investigation was now necessary after the conclusion of a major criminal trial.
