Wake said after discovering the email, which outlines a list of criteria for removing land from the Greenbelt, he concluded that the review into the matter would have been "unnecessary," had the letter not been overlooked. Wake said Stiles' letter alleged that there was an apparent contradiction in the evidence of Sackville when he testified before Wake as a witness in the inquiry into Clark's role in the Greenbelt land removal.
"We appreciate the integrity commissioner looking into it and dismissing this baseless claim by the opposition," Clark said in a statement.his plan to open the protected Greenbelt lands for housing development and won't make any changes to the Greenbelt in the future.
