Description

Anthony Cadman(?), businessman, speaks about trade practices in Middle Eastern countries that include accepting additional payments or handouts for contracts, whether this is bribery, and how it would not be the practice here. This is in context of recent allegations in the papers of a British Leyland slush fund. Should we need to make these payments if our product is of good quality? He feels the slush fund is not something to be concerned about. Interviewer not identified.
