Yes. You are right , I hadn't seen the story in the paper nor did I see the news. DL is probably innocent of partaking in that particular scandal. However, I doubt he was unaware of the goings on though given his close relationship with both of the named parties particularly the late Finance Director with whom he shared a number of other businesses built(?) from policies initiated by Parkin. As for the Chair person, I see that she is also named on the board of the sinking Northern Rock!
