| Subject: | Inquiry into John Maxton MP
|
I wish to know whether you have completed your inquiry
into my affairs. Since I have not heard from you since I answered
your questions in mid June I can only assume that you have. If
so why have I not been informed. I wish to make it clear that
although the original unsubstantiated allegations were made against
Dr Reid and myself in the same letter I consider there to be two
inquiries not one and that you will submit two reports to the
Committee.
I am appalled that with no evidence provided by the
complainant that you have managed to continue this inquiry for
over 6 months.

Thank you for your e mail. One reply from a witness
is still outstanding. I am in the process of compiling my report
to the Committee. The Committee holds its next meeting on October
24th and I hope to report to them on that date with any further
comment you wish to make. To achieve this timetable I shall have
to provide the complete report to the Clerk for circulation in
early October.
Having considered your submission carefully, I hope
to send you my draft report in early September. I will be able
to offer you two weeks for any further comment before I come to
my conclusions. Perhaps you would let my office know the address
to which we should send the report in the first week of September?
I note your request on the format of my report.

I note your comments. However I am not aware of any
witness in respect of my own case from whom a reply is outstanding.
You have my home address and I will be there during most of September.
