Allister questions account of Consultative Group on the Past
03 November 2008
"Someone, somewhere is not telling the truth. Recently, following press reports about a draft report being in circulation from the Consultative Group on the Past, I asked the Group for a copy. They replied in unequivocal terms, "I can assure you that no draft report has been circulated".
“Yet, journalistic sources assure me they have had sight of such a draft report and a Junior Minister in OFMDFM has gone on record to claim he has seen it. So, I want to challenge the Consultative Group to stop playing games. If we can't even get the truth about the present existence, or otherwise, of a draft report, how do we ever hope to get the truth about the past? This is not how the public and public representatives should be treated."
