Party Expenses to Martin Cole

The Veritas Party Treasurer, Mr John de Roeck, this evening replied to the accusations about my expenses made today by Mr David Soutter as follows:


"Hi David,

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that Mr Martin Cole has not received any payment from the Central Office of the party and that there is no claim outstanding from him at this time......."

The treasurer subsequently confirms what I had earlier indicated regarding Mr Soutter's own expense status within the party:

"In March 2005 the party agreed with David Soutter to reimburse him monthly for expenses during the campaign in his role as Campaign Manager."
