DAC Robert Strickland:
Why didn't you investigate this using proper police procedures?

Brian Lane:
And what would have happened? There'd have been a long, drawn-out internal inquiry, and then somebody would have said, "Oh, what's the point? Embleton's retired; let it go." And Mrs Kaye would never have known. But I would-a known. I'd-a had to live with that for the rest of me life. And I've got enough on me plate as it is, thank you very much.

DAC Robert Strickland:
So you intend to stand by your evidence. And give a witness statement about what you heard Commander Embleton say?

Brian Lane:
Yes. that is my intention.

DAC Robert Strickland:
Clear your desk.
