APPENDIX 14
Letter to Committee Assistant from Mr
Martin Taylor, Chief Executive, Barclays plc (TAB 84)
I am sorry to have been so long in coming back
to you with information about the materials to which I referred
(in answer to question 12) when giving evidence to the Committee
on 17 June.[53]

than scientific proof, but the following references give some
idea of the work which the Task Force reviewed.

and Bridges, DSS Research Report No 53, London: HMSO.
