TELEPHONE
CALL
FROM
KEITH
VAZ
I said to Mr Vaz that I was unclear about the document
that he felt that we had which we had not sent to him. Mr Vaz
says that the Sale Note that was in the batch of documents from
the BBC referred to a sale in 1999. We transferred the date of
1999 into the property schedule which in fact is the sale from
the people who bought the property from him to the people who
bought it from them. He has confirmed in a letter today that he
sold 70 Teignmouth Road in 1997.
I checked with him whether in relation to para. 75
that should be 1998. He said no, it should be 1988.

Mr Vaz told me that his mother has now been taken
ill again and was now in hospital, having received a telephone
call from Eileen Eggington who asked her a lot of questions. Eileen
Eggington gave Mrs Vaz senior the impression that she was asking
these questions on my behalf or in relation to my office. I said
I was extremely sorry to hear that and if Mr Vaz would write to
me about this I would see whether there was anything at all that
I could do. I assured Mr Vaz that no one acts on my behalf other
than people from my office or me. Mr Vaz said he was reassured
to hear this.
Mr Vaz said he has written to me again today and
I said that I hoped he would send me anything else he needed to
so that I would be able to deal with the matter as quickly as
possible.
