I previously asked Mr. Kelly about his knowledge of the assets account. He consistently said in his evidence that he was not aware of the assets account at the time. The witnesses have provided us with evidence about an additional invoice from CMS for the Chernobyl lunch. It should be noted that the invoice was made in January 2023, whereas the "at the time" reference of Mr. Kelly was in 2022. Do the witnesses concur with that assessment of the timeline? In his evidence Mr. Kelly said that at that time he did not know who assets were, or that is in no way diluted by the knowledge of assets in 2023. Is that a fair assessment?
