Was there a cover up?

There is a good letter to the Times today about the papers that Sir Alan Budd was unable to find during his enquiry. This is the full text.

Sir, A fax generates its own (facsimile) copy upon transmission. Four faxes are missing, which means that eight separate pieces of paper, in two separate offices, are not available. Yet Sir Alan Budd “does not believe any attempt was made to destroy, conceal or withhold information” (report, December 22).

Quite. It stinks.
