Statement from Rachel MacGregor

Colin Craig’s statement today, along with other public statements in recent days, breach a confidentially agreement that Mr Craig and I reached during a Human Rights Commission mediation.

Despite Mr Craig’s pubic comments I have been advised by my lawyers that I am still bound by the confidentiality agreement.

I am therefore unable to correct the clear factual inaccuracies contained in the statement Mr Craig made today without jeopardising my legal position. I am willing to correct those inaccuracies if Mr Craig confirms that he will not take legal action under the confidentiality agreement when I do so.

I am also willing to fully brief the Conservative Party Board on Mr Craig’s conduct but, again, this would require Mr Craig’s consent.

Until Mr Craig lifts confidentiality, I can make no further comments.
