If I had information of blatant fraud, I think it would be more appropriate to refer it to the auditors rather than yourself. In fact, if the auditors were competent they would have picked it up themselves and would not be relying on information from myself.

In that case why ask the question if not to cast aspersions on the integrity of all of the groups in Hyndburn. I would suggest that Jeremy Paxman does not ask the question unless there is a suspicion that he might get the answer that he wants and I put it to you that you were doing the same.
So I ask you why you even asked the question in the first place.
