28. Letter to Rt Hon Andrew Mackay
from the Commissioner, 10 June 2010
Thank you for coming to our interview meeting on
9 June. I was most grateful for your help with this inquiry. The
note-taker will be sending you the draft note of the meeting as
agreed.
I said when we met that I had not taken evidence
from the then Head of the Fees Office since I did not consider
that necessary. Having reviewed your oral evidence, however, and
noted the emphasis which you have put on your discussion with
him, I have concluded that I ought to put the points you made
to me to the then Head of the Fees Office to see if he is able
to confirm your recollection of the discussion.
I will show you his response when I receive it.
There was one further matter which also arose from
your evidence. You confirmed that you moved to your current Westminster
home in September 1999. That was some two years after your discussion
with the Fees Office in September 1997. Your evidence is that
during that meeting you described the accommodation in your current
London home. That would have clearly not have been possible. Could
you confirm that in fact you described the accommodation in your
previous London home, and can you let me know what that accommodation
was?
If you could let me have a response to this within
the next two weeks, that would be most helpful.
