Question 2
Is the President aware that when the Committee seized the Solidor V, it had the effect of freezing Emeraude Lines' bank account at Lloyds TSB and this was the reason why the bank refused their cheque of £20,000 which the President referred to at the last sitting of the States as having been dishonoured?

No. As a matter of law, the seizure of the Solidor V could not operate to freeze the bank account held by the company at Lloyds TSB. It follows that this cannot have been the reason why the bank refused to pay the cheque.
