Australian Federal Police officers are set to be called before a parliamentary committee within weeks to explain the organisation's role in delivering the executed Bali nine ring leaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran to Indonesian authorities a decade ago.

The AFP gave information to Indonesian officials about the Bali nine which led to their arrests for drug smuggling in 2005. The AFP has previously declined to comment in detail on the matter while the Australians' case was before Indonesian courts.

Independent senator Nick Xenophon said he intends to raise the issue with AFP officials at upcoming Senate estimates hearings in May. Senator Xenophon also wrote to the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade on Wednesday to ask that the matter be examined separately.
