Examination of Witnesses (Question 40)
MR GAVIN
HAYMAN
17 OCTOBER 2007
Q40 CHAIRMAN:
Thank you very much. As always, your evidence is extremely helpful
to the Committee as well as being to the point. We will be very
grateful for any further input you have on these kinds of issues.
I do not think there is any desire on behalf of this Committee
to conduct a witch hunt. Indeed, in some ways one can say that
Afrimex at least had the courtesy to come and explain themselves
to the Committee, and one can understand where they are coming
from. But the truth at the end of the day is that we are under
criticism in the UK for not having a very active anti-corruption
policy, and obviously we are going to talk to the OECD next. I
think the kind of practical evidence you can put to the Committee
from all the experience you have is really helpful to enable us
to question ministers and other organisations effectively, so
I want to thank you again very much for your evidence today and
that which you have provided in the past.
MR
HAYMAN: Thank
you very much.
