76. Letter to Ms Julie Kirkbride from
the Commissioner, 18 May 2010
Now that the new Parliament has assembled, I am writing
to confirm that I am resuming my work on this complaint, and to
ask whether you could give me the name and address of the gardener
at your Bromsgrove property.
During the Dissolution of Parliament, I reviewed
the evidence which I have collected in relation to this complaint.
I see from the complainant's initial letter of 30 October that
he refers to evidence in an unidentified newspaper article which
suggests that there is a witness who believes that your brother
was a permanent resident at your Bromsgrove property. The complainant
could not identify the press report. I have subsequently identified
it as being in the attached article from the News
of the World of 24 May 2009.[208]
I recognise that this evidence is directly contrary
to the evidence which you and your brother have provided. I think
that, having identified the article referred to by the complainant,
I do need to check, if at all possible, with the reported evidence
of the gardener. I would, therefore, be grateful if you could
as soon as possible provide me with the name and address of that
potential witness so that I can write to him about it.
Finally, when I wrote to you about this on 29 March,
I noted that I would need to consider this complaint alongside
the complaint against your husband, Mr Andrew Mackay. I will be
seeing Mr Mackay early next month, and hope that that will be
enable me to bring both inquiries to an conclusion. I will be
in touch with you after I have seen Mr Mackay.
If you could let me have the information about your
gardener within the next few days, I would be most grateful.
