00:00I worked with Hugh Tate, I had no idea. I'll be honest with you, I'm not just saying that,
00:03I had genuinely no idea. I didn't know him that well, but I did work with him. We worked together
00:08when I was in charge of the Pope's visit when he came over, and Hugh was our face of that,
00:12because he was the face of many things. So we worked very closely. He was a presenter on Songs
00:16of Praise. I could go on. You know, the fact of the matter is, none of us, I didn't know,
00:21and yet he worked for me. So the fact is, I don't know who knew, who didn't know. What I do know is
00:25this, that actually it would have been very hard to have sacked him initially. And of course,
00:28the initial allegations of the original story are not the same as this.
00:33No, they are completely separate.
00:35These came separately later on.
