Benson-Pope was told of complaint

Things have gotten very bleak for David Benson-Pope. The Principal of his school in 1997 has confirmed that he discussed a complaint about Benson-Pope's conduct with him at the time. This contradicts Benson-Pope's statement that he had never been the subject of any complaint.

Benson-Pope's response?

Late last night Mr Benson-Pope said through a spokesman: "That doesn't accord with information we have received from the school."

Why couldn't he use his own memory? And if he can't remember important things like that then he shouldn't be handling ministerial portfolios.
