Quotes

And when pressed over whether or not he felt during the time-span covering the bidding process that Hunt was in favor of the bid, Michel said: "My view is that Jeremy Hunt was probably supportive of some of the arguments we were putting forward and he has made that public on the plurality [issue]." Michel was replaced on the witness standstand by Smith late in the day for an initial round of quesitoning...
He commented: "As the local MP, film minister and the real star of this film, I am absolutely thrilled that it has been selected as the first film to premiere in the new Leicester Square.
