None of the foreign bankers or government ministers invited to give evidence to the Dutch parliamentary inquiry into the 2008 financial crisis have attended, the Telegraaf reports on Thursday.

Dutch witnesses are required to answer questions under oath but it is up to foreigners to decide whether or not to appear.
Former Belgian prime minister Yves Leterme and finance minister Didier Reyners and former ING CEO Michel Timant were on the witness list.
The commission, headed by Socialist MP Jan de Wit, has been hearing evidence into the crisis for the past five weeks. De Wit will make a closing statement on Friday afternoon.
