I, too, have seen what IPSA has said in response, but it did not respond to the point that I made. I said:"““This morning, a colleague told me that they had been talking to a member of the press who had been offered information by somebody at IPSA on certain 'juicy' bits that had not yet emerged in the press about what certain Members had claimed for.””" I invited the person whom I named to answer that point. That person has not answered and I suggest that the statement put out by Sir Ian Kennedy does not answer the allegation that I made.
