Michael Carrick, as Chief Executive Officer of Heads of the Valleys Development Company (HOVDC), was first provided with a redacted copy of Grant Thornton’s corporate intelligence report (which covers the Fit and Proper Person test) in May. Mr Carrick wrote to Welsh Government on 30 May, setting out the company’s observation that the report contained areas of concern for him and his colleagues. On 1 September, Mr Carrick wrote again to Welsh Government about the disclosure of a range of due diligence extracts, emphasising the company’s position that the corporate intelligence report not be released at that stage. Welsh Government wrote to the company on 6 October, providing a further copy of the redacted report that was originally shared with HOVDC in May, asking if they would consider the matter again and advise if they were content for the material to be made publicly available. The company confirmed on 9 October that their position remains unchanged in that they decline any consent for the release of the report.
