Annex 27
Response of the Rt Hon Dr John Reid MP
to Complaint received from the Parliamentary Commissioner for
Standards dated 27 January 2000 and Questions put to Dr Reid by
the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards dated 19 May 2000
CONCLUSION
OF
ANALYSIS
OF
MATERIALS
Close and proper analysis of the statements provided
reveals neither any established case of wrongdoing by Dr Reid
nor any prima facie case. As the statements provided deal
with only those matters where there is an apparent conflict with
Dr Reid`s evidence it is supposed that the PCS has other sources
of evidence which may support Dr Reid`s position. It is not known
what these might be. What is clear is that the principle persons
on whom the complainer has relied do not reliably support the
complaint or indeed any variation of it.
