Please refer to our previous updates for the background to these cases and an explanation of how we propose dealing with them. The present position is that we are nearing the final stages of the investigation into the lead complaint. We have received GAD's submissions in response to that complaint, Mr Milne has replied to these and further comments are being obtained. It is difficult at this stage to say when the matter will be finalised as this depends on a number of factors. However, we expect a final decision to be made sometime during the next few months.
Affected members do not have to take any action at this time as the issue is being dealt with on a test case basis.
Further updates will be made available when they are available.
Yours in Unity,
Sean Starbuck
National Officer
