In 1999 I was invited to a Home Office discussion in Leicester on sex offences in the family. At the end, Betty Moxon of the Home Office told me she and the Minister wanted "constructive dialogue". I told her that we needed information on the structure of the Home Office etc., so that we would know whom to approach. She said she would give us that information, but she then failed to do so.

Even before the conference began, I had flagged up the alleged problem of false allegations with Betty Moxon. After the conference, I published in the journal "Ill Eagle" that I edit that nobody among the 50 present had the concept of a false allegation.

It took me six months to extract from of Betty Moxon the statement that no one in Government had as part of their remit the alleged problem of false allegations. See http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/03072.htm as follows;

"I emphasise the section from the above letter [written on behalf of Moxon] ; "…. there is no specific policy consideration in government being given to the issue of false allegations …." It took me six months to extract this statement from people who invited me to be part of a reference group so that I could contribute to the development of future legislation. Moxon, Tooke's boss, told me she wanted "constructive dialogue", but I had to descend to the level of repeating my single question for about the fourth time in writing, in words of one and two syllables, to extract this vital piece of information." - Ivor Catt, 21 March 2000

"The Tooke letter to me of 7mar00 (copy enclosed) does not address the question, which I will now repeat in words of one and two syllables, except for the word "allegation", where I fail.

2. If someone, then who? If more than one person or group, then please define one or more key persons or groups." - Ivor Catt 1mar00

FBI research on pre-DNA cases found that one third of those in US jails for rape did not match the post hoc DNA tests, so they were definitely not guilty. I calculate the damages faced by the US Govt in a class action for false imprisonment for rape to be of the order of 200,000,000,000 dollars, five times the cost of the Twin Towers disaster. (However, the US govt may have immunity.) I believe that the threat posed to the economic survival of the British government following the equivalent class action is similarly large. Lower sentencing for rape might save the British Government from bankruptcy, so on that basis the length of rape sentencing does come within the remit of the Sentencing Advisory Panel whom you serve. (Europe will not allow immunity to the British Govt, particularly in view of the persistent, irresponsible attitude demonstrated by the British govt in my website at http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/03072.htm )
