"Surely it can't be true that Russell Walters, formally employed to run the Scottish CCO [Conservative Central Office] ... recently had his home raided by the police.

"And what did [the police] find?

"Reams of child pornography."

1. What is and was the nature and extent of your relationship with Russell Walters? (On what date and in what capacity did you first meet? For how many years did you work together? Did you ever socialise outside of work? Where and how often?)
   
2. Did the Greater London Authority or the Mayor's office require a criminal records check on Mr Walters for employment purposes? (On what date? Or - why not?)
   
3. What did Mr Walters' criminal records check reveal? 
   
4. Was Mr Walters ever cautioned, arrested,  or tried in connection with child pornography or any other matter? 
   
5. On what date did you first learn about the child pornography allegation?
   
6. What action did you take? Whom did you notify?
   
7. To your knowledge, is the allegation - or any part of it - true or partially true? (Have you asked Mr Walters directly about the allegation?)
   
8. Have there been any other allegations against Mr Walters of possible criminal misconduct, substantiated or otherwise, of which you are aware?
   
9. Did you ever have reason to suspect that Mr Walters was not a fit and proper person to represent the Mayor of London's Office, the Greater London Assembly, the city of London, or the Conservative party?
   
10. Why have you remained silent about the matter all these years? (Do you now wish to apologise?)
