Joint statement from Green Party Co-leader Russel Norman and Conservative Party leader Colin Craig

10 October 2014

Green Party co-leader Russel Norman and Conservative Party leader Colin Craig have agreed to resolve their dispute about Dr Norman’s comments about Mr Craig at the Big Gay Out earlier this year.

Both accept that the comments were made on a political occasion, but they disagree about what the comments were understood to mean. Neither party considers there is value in continuing with the dispute in the courts.

They jointly issue this statement to draw a line under the dispute. There is no issue about damages, since Mr Craig never sought them, and both parties have agreed to bear their own costs.
