Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Alan Gray:

So, I think it is very evident that I was invited to that dinner to provide a continuation of a discussion but I did not refer to the previous discussion. And the reason I didn't; I was trying to balance my approach which would not be to normally issue statements to the media about policy discussions with any governments and when this broke I, as I have mentioned, I was extremely ill and I was trying to make a decision of what to release to balance my normal confidentiality arrangements and to respect people's privacy but yet to put out in detail what the content of that interaction was about. I was aware that the house we were in was an ordinary family home. I did not know whether Mr. Drury had children or not and I felt I would be breaching a personal issue of normal privacy and I didn't think it mattered, the location of it.
