Update: UNITE collusion investigation.

 Representatives of Blacklist Support Group recently met with lawyers carrying out the independent investigation into possible collusion by union officials in blacklisting. The meeting took place at the chambers of the law firm, 33 Chancery Lane, adjacent to the Royal Courts of Justice.

Nick Randall KC, JC Townsend and Paul Heron (the investigation lawyers) confirmed that they are:
- collating documentary evidence already been submitted from various sources. 
- currently interviewing individuals who have offered to provide oral evidence.
- beginning to make contact with a number of people who have previously provided a witness statement, to clarify a number of points. 
- will soon be contacting people who they believe may have information relevant to the investigation. 
- in the future intend to carry out a forensic search of UNITE's electronic database.
Blacklist Support Group are convinced that the lawyers involved are independent from UNITE and Thompsons solicitors. It is only right that this investigation needs to be thorough, and BSG are confident that any report will be based on evidence rather than mere hearsay. BSG continue to encourage anyone who may have relevant information to contact the collusion investigation.
