“It is my intention, when I update Trade Union officials et al, to inform them that I made you aware of this matter and I would expect Geoffrey, if he has any of that difficult to obtain substance in our modern world, called honour, to apologise for the fact that your were duped and misled.”
Bill Campbell referring to Geoffrey Podger (right), Chief Executive of the Health & Safety Executive
This correspondence is directed to Lord Browne of Ladyton and concerns issues raised by him on my behalf in a Letter to Lord McKenzie at that time an Under Secretary of State at the DWP on 23 August 2007. At the time Des Browne was the Secretary of State for Scotland.
Dear Mr Browne
At the time Lord McKenzie answered your letter, with the standard reply to some 15 other MP’s who had raised concerns directly with him. This was as a result of a open letter that I had copied to all MP’s in 2007. I have highlighted in the attachment (in bold) how these concerns were handled both by HSE and DWP but suffice to say you were given unambiguous assurances that the concerns raised by me were unfounded.
The position taken by Geoffrey Podger is described in the attachment, he was apparently not involved in the process and did not authorise the HSE information passed to DWP which was then used to give you assurance. The HSE information was also not authorised or indeed discussed by the then Head of the Offshore Division in Aberdeen, he confirmed this to me in writing. The HSE information passed to DWP was written by an HSE official within the Offshore Division whose actions (amongst others) were the subject of the criminal investigation. The issue is that the information passed to you was false and misleading, or lies if you like the dictionary definition. read more
