I just wanted to keep you informed about the latest press reports which are cur-ently running saying we have air inquiry
into whether Today gave the Government sufficient advance notice of the Gdligan report

'dVe gave tne MoD on Sunday a detailed break down of what we believed to be our advance dealings with them They
responded with a very different account from their records of what calls took place Accordingly I have asked Stephen
VVnittle to look at the two accounts and come :o a view - independently of News

In the end this is a sice issue as even if we had given greater notice to the Government I don't believe it would have in
any way affected our reporting of the story .

I wanted you simply to oe aware of what was going on

Best
