Thank you for your emails dated 7 and 11 March 2019.
I am aware that my colleague Abigail Scholefield, an investigation
lawyer working with me on the Westminster investigation, spoke to you
when you attended the Inquiry's hearing centre on 8 March 2018.
I understand that you wanted an opportunity to address the Chair
and Panel on 8 March to provide your response to information provided by
Commander Jerome in his evidence the previous day. I also understand
that Miss Scholefield informed you that it would
not be possible to speak to the Chair and Panel as they were in the
middle of a hearing, and you could not give evidence as you had not
previously provided a witness statement and the Inquiry could only hear
from a limited number of witnesses in person due
to time constraints. Miss Scholefield offered to provide you with a
template document in which you could set out what you wanted to say
about Commander Jerome's evidence, but you declined to do so.
Thank you, however, for drawing the Inquiry's attention to the
information you have provided on YouTube. If you do wish to provide a
formal statement responding to Commander Jerome's statement, you are
welcome to do so and the Inquiry will consider this
as part of its work on the Westminster investigation.
Kind regards
Martin Smith
Solicitor to the Inquiry
