MR KENNEDY:
A (An excerpt from the recording of the telephone call was played)

Q That’s -- you, yes?

A Yes, it certainly sounds like me.

(The recording continued)

Q You said to the insurance company there “Looking at the van, it’s got a
load of tools in”?
A Yes, yes. That does sound like that’s what I said, yes.
Q And when you said that to the insurance company, you were lying, weren’t
you?
A I don’t recall lying. I’m faced with two -- obviously I’ve got my
recollection and my notes and then I’ve obviously got that recording.
Q We went through that your notes were comprehensive. Yes?
Didn’t we? Officer?
A Yes, you asked me, yes.
Q Yes. And we went through that you had outlined the factors informing your
view that these people were working? Yes?
A Yes.
Q Obviously, tools in the van would be an obvious indicator of that?
Yes?
A Yes.
Q No reference in your statement to tools?
A No. No reference to tools.
Q No reference to tools in the Magistrates’ Court?
Yes?
A No. Yes, correct.
Q On the scene there you’re ringing up the insurance company saying there’s
a load of tools in there - “It’s got a load of tools in”?
A (No audible reply)
Q You — you were dishonest in your dealings with Mr Cordell, weren’t you?
A Well, I don’t believe I was, no.

going to speak to someone about work. You had quite a conversation with
him on the roadside. He was explaining to you?
