INTO POSSIBLE CORRUPTION OR OTHER SERIOUS DISHONESTY IN RECENT YEARS OF PAST AND PRESENT ELECTED MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE

COMMISSION PRESS STATEMENT

20th October 2008

From today, Monday 20th October 2008, to Saturday, 1st November 2008,  the Commission’s Solicitor, Jacqueline Duff, and its Secretary, Laurance O’Dea, are in the Turks & Caicos Islands to identify and examine documents, visit relevant locations and talk to persons wishing to give information and/or evidence in the Inquiry.
 
Anyone who wishes to speak to them while they are there, in complete privacy or otherwise, should contact the Commission as soon as possible (if they have not already done so) at 
secretary@tci-inquiry.org or (0044) (0)207 173 2400
.  
While they are in the Islands, the Commission will provide any necessary further information as to contact with them, on its Web-Site, www.tci-inquiry.org  and by press statement  and/or by other means.

Given the continuing and widely expressed fear of intimidation or victimisation expressed by many who have made submissions to the UK Foreign Affairs Committee and to the Commission, and who have approached the Commission with a view to giving it information, the Commission repeats that those who wish to provide information to it in confidence, should say so. Neither the information nor its source, nor anything that might suggest its source, will be made public without their express consent.  

Sir Robin Auld

Commissioner to the Inquiry
