Context
Dr Stephen Brearey’s second day of evidence at the Thirlwall Inquiry. Cross-examination on his contemporaneous notes, the sequence of escalation meetings with executives, and the drafting of the September 2016 consultants’ letter.
Key passages
Dr Stephen Brearey
I kept notes because I believed, from early in the process, that I might at some point need to demonstrate what had been said and when. I am now glad I did.
Counsel to the Inquiry
Your note of 23 September 2016 records a meeting with Mr Chambers at which you say you were told, and I quote, that if you pressed the matter further ‘your own position on the unit was at risk’. Is that correct?
Dr Stephen Brearey
That is correct. That is a contemporaneous note.
