I mean, I really do want to make that quite clear.

I'm finding this constant reiteration of my husband's, er,

innocent position to be wearing in the extreme.

Mrs Murray, may I remind you

that you did ask for this inquiry to be set up.

I didn't not want an inquiry.

Well, presumably there was something that you feel that needed

to be said, needed to be asked, about, er, about PFI, about leaking.

I think, er, that it's a good idea to have an inquiry

every now and then. I just think it, um...

Livens things up a bit.

On that subject, was it, um,

Mr Tucker who persuaded you call for an inquiry into Mr Tickel's death?

Er, I called for the inquiry

after Mr Tucker had spoken to me.

Is there a better party happening elsewhere?

I'm sorry Mrs Murray, in view of events developing

outside of this room, some of which may be subject to police

investigations, and consequently to re-examine the parameters

of this inquiry, I think we'll leave it there for the moment, Mrs Murray.

Well, yeah, I have actually prepared a very brief statement,

which I think will clarify my position on...

I'm afraid we don't have the time for that.

It is very brief. Um, I think it was Gandhi who once said

that an honest man is a gift from God and a gift to...

I'm sure a written submission will suffice. Thank you so much.

I'm now going to adjourn for a short period.

(Fuck's sake.)

Please be seated. Thank you for your attendance, Ms Murdoch.

Um, Mr Weir has some questions.

If I can turn to you, Ms Murdoch.

How would you describe your relationship with Ms Coverley?

Do you, do you get on well with her, with her?

No.

Can you, um... Can you expand on that for us a little?

No.
