Letter from Sir Michael Grylls MP to the
Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards
I am writing further to my recent letter.
During the 1980s I was asked by a group of 60
leading British companies, all with sizeable investments in the
USA to assist them over a Corporate Taxation problem that had
arisen in the US called "Unitary Tax". I was retained
by them to advise and to help. This interest was fully and properly
declared in the Register of Members' Interests. The Unitary Tax
Campaign - as it became known - was co-ordinated and administered
by Ian Greer Associates.
I have now been told by Ian Greer Associates
that during their analysis of their Auditors' figures for the
"Harrods" case, it emerged that the figure I had been
supplied with by IGA in June 1990 to submit to the "Select
Committee" may need to be amended. The reason appears to
be due to a lack of clarity in Ian Greer Associates' book-keeping,
upon which I was dependant for my information.
On the new information IGA have given me it
seems that between four and six of the payments could be classified
as commission.
Therefore, I hope that you may think it wise,
in order that the public record is correct, for this letter to
be appended to my letter of 14 June 1990. [36]
