Yes that's what I meant.
So they wouldn't start working out the compensation etc at that point would they? Only now, when the inquiry has drawn out the details and the general public is in uproar about it does the calculation of who is due what starts. (I feel I'm repeating myself!)
I'm not saying it's right, I'm just trying to offer explanations as to why they can't just settle everything pronto, as suggested by an earlier poster.
Just wait till the Teesside scandal hits the news. It's been running a couple of years already in real life and in Private Eye and just gets worse... Not directly affecting members of the public in the same way as the PO but it smells of quite massive corruption to me, and must be costing the ratepayers/taxpayers millions in lost revenue. And Ben Houchen was made a peer by Boris!! Another Tory shocker... :-)
