British envoy offers assistance

JAKARTA: British Ambassador to Indonesia Richard Gozney
offered on Friday assistance and facilities that would help the
House of Representatives Commission II for home and legal affairs
speed up the deliberation of the large number of outstanding
bills.

"We are willing to provide assistance and facilities for
Commission II to finish its work," Gozney told the press after a
meeting with Commission chairman Agustin Teras Narang here.

The ambassador said his government's assistance was aimed
particularly at helping Indonesia enforce the money laundering
law more effectively.

Teras said that his commission planned to conduct a
comparative study in Britain to learn more about money
laundering. He also said the commission planned to revise some
articles in the newly-endorsed law. -- JP
