Select Committee on Standards and Privileges Minutes of Evidence


Introduction


This volume contains all the oral evidence appended to the report of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards on the complaints by Mr Andrew Robathan MP and Mr Andrew Yale (a member of the public) against Mr George Galloway MP. It consists of 5 oral evidence sessions, at which a full verbatim record was taken, and 2 meetings, in respect of which a summary was subsequently agreed by all parties present.

The oral evidence received has been lightly edited to remove personal details or other material irrelevant to a conclusion on the complaints. Procedural exchanges between the Commissioner and each witness at the beginning and end of each interview have also been omitted to avoid unnecessary repetition and printing. Page, paragraph and line numbers quoted by the Commissioner or witnesses are those which originally appeared in either written or oral evidence and may no longer apply where the evidence in question has been re-formatted as part of the Commissioner's report.

Annex 1 of the Commissioner's report in Volume 1 lists all those mentioned in the report, including those from whom the Commissioner received evidence in the course of his inquiry. It also indicates the relevant position(s) held by those who gave the Commissioner evidence.
