And you are aware that letters have been written by
your Member of Parliament to the Parish Council
advising them to do so

A:
Yes, sir.

The person whose name appears for this group
payment is normally somebody who is trusted in the
community and somebody who the Member of
Parliament can rely on to pay the people who have
worked
?
A:
Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN:
Have you ever personally selected persons to whom
a group payment is to be made
?
…
A:
No, not personally.
…
CHAIRMAN:
Do you have any way of knowing in your office, for
that contract that is given to Joan McDonald, who all
the persons were who worked on that project? Do
you have any documentation to show that
?
A:
No. What we usually do is to call them and ask how
many persons were used, not who are the persons
that were used.
CHAIRMAN: So in relation to Joan McDonald, did you do that, in
relation to her? Can you recall?
A:
I don't remember how many persons she used.
CHAIRMAN:
Do you remember if you called her to ask how many
persons she used?
