Subject: Family Law: Corroborative Documentation

Dear Christine Randall,

Perhaps you could thank Mr Edward Leigh for his interest. He may like to know the misadventure in Private Law:

- is documented to the last scintilla

- extends to an adjacent area in Public Law

The public law issue involves the same civil servant and the same modus operandi.

Perhaps Mr Leigh would like a glance at three further attachments:

1. Attachment: Sir David Normington

Recent correspondence with the DfES PS (following an internal DfES investigation into Mr Clark)

2. Attachment: Full Text

Formal documentation outlining the private law fiasco (in summary terms)

3. Attachment: EI complaint

The private law fiasco - full detail

Item 2 above is available in hard copy.

Our information is that the Public Law issue has of this week been formally raised with the Minister by a Cross-Party Parliamentary Group.

Yours sincerely,

David Mortimer
