Sutherland Inquiry

It was said by Ken Boston, who was suspended this afternoon by the QCA board on the basis of a report that said that Ministers were not properly informed. It also said that information was not provided properly by the NAA to the QCA executive, by the QCA executive to the board, and by the QCA executive and the board to Ministers. We had reassurances that things were okay, even though the NAA had information that they were not. [Interruption.] If he wants to, the hon. Gentleman can quote again and again from the remarks that Ken Boston made to Lord Sutherland, but I think that those remarks reveal the nature of the problem and why we needed to act. That is what we have done.
