Select Committee on Standards and Privileges First Report


APPENDIX 111

Letter from Mr Malcolm Moring to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards

  I acknowledge receipt of your letter, dated 3 March, 1997.

  All the accounts files from 1987 to 1994 were kept in Mr Greer's office and Mr Andrew Smith's office since 1995. These included sales, purchase invoices, nominal ledgers, bank statements and cheque stubs.

  There were payments made to Sir Michael Grylls, Mr Neil Hamilton and another Member of Parliament for introductory fees.

  Sir Michael Grylls' payments were £5,000 per quarter plus VAT. These payments started before March 1987 and lasted until 1994.

  Sir Michael Grylls sent invoices for his fees to Mr Greer. Mr Greer kept the invoices.

  In 1987 I collected £6,000 cash from IGA's bank and gave it all to Mr Greer. This was on Mr Greer's orders.

  Every Friday from March 1987 until 1995 I gave Mr Greer £50 out of Petty Cash in a brown envelope.

  Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Malcolm Moring
