TELEPHONE CALL FROM NIGEL GRIFFITHS

Mr Griffiths telephoned me to say that the Finance Office had information about the monies he had paid in relation to his accommodation going back 3 years but the records prior to that were in boxes stored somewhere. He asked if I would like an interim reply or if I would like to wait until the Finance Office had their records. I suggested that he asked the Finance Office to find their boxes as a priority since this matter was being run in the press. I said it would not help him until I had a complete answer. He understood this and asked me to consider whether there was anything else he needed to include in his reply to me apart from the draft which he has already provided. I said I would look carefully at the draft and let him know.
