Press Release From The Hon Taito Phillip Field On New Allegations Being Investigated By Ministerial Inquiry

I have just been informed by my lawyer that Dr Noel Ingram QC is now intending to inquire into the new allegations concerning the Coles house and the Thai painter in his ministerial inquiry for the Prime Minister.

I understand that Dr Ingram intends to confirm that to me in writing this afternoon or tomorrow morning. In the light of this knowledge I have decided to make no further media comment but to direct my attention to assisting Dr Ingram’s inquiries to the best of my ability.
