15 September 2004 SP Paper No. 205
Session 2 (2004)
Acknowledgements The conclusion of my Report could not have been achieved without the masterful work of Derek Bearhop as Secretary to the Inquiry. As this Report will reveal, I am not uncritical of the performance of a number of public servants from which criticism Derek is wholly excepted. Scotland should be proud that it has in Derek Bearhop such a fearlessly independent public servant with a keen eye for detail, unswerving objectivity and a preparedness for hard work. Diane Barr from the Scottish Parliament has, to my advantage, demonstrated her high intelligence and her incomparable capacity for hard work. She and Derek were central to the task and I acknowledge, with the greatest respect, their contributions. Lauren Drummond was irrepressibly charming and helpful and if she had not already achieved her ambition of joining a Ministerial Private Office, that would have been one clear recommendation I would willingly have offered the First Minister. Jonathan Elliott was a quiet but thoroughly effective member of the Team and valued by all. John Campbell, Counsel to the Inquiry, is now, with cause, after the brilliance of his questioning throughout the Inquiry probably the most famous QC in Scotland. He could not have achieved that immense reputation without the tireless and assiduous work of Douglas Tullis assisting him. Lawyers do not come better than Douglas. Jim Cassidy and Archie Mackay of Media2k have been invaluable with their shrewd and skilled media advice. We were all working on the principles of openness and transparency. Neither could have been achieved without the contributions of this small Team. The mould of past inquiries in Scotland has been broken and their workings will never again be allowed to become remote or opaque.
