an officer in other cases do you think there might be grounds
which the Inland Revenue should have investigated further?
Mr Williams: In relation to Goodman?
Q2061 Mr Watson: This system of payments

Mr Williams: I must admit I do
not know enough about Inland Revenue and tax to know whether or

Q2063 Mr Watson: So it might be you

Mr Yates: Yes.
Chairman: We have kept you for long enough.
