 read from an article in The Journal of October 13 which revealed that an ETI judge from sponsor E.ON UK Power Technology was in charge of funding E.ON research at the eventual winning university.

When Mr Brown put this to the ETI chief David Clarke, he denied it and said the article was an example of inaccurate reporting - even though the story had been confirmed by the ETI Press office.

After the meeting, The Journal approached Mr Clarke and asked for an explanation as to why he had rubbished a story that had been checked with his own Press office. At this point ETI communication officer Alistair MacDonald admitted the facts concerning the E.ON connection were correct except for the name of the judge which had been given by the ETI office.

The Journal's October story had said Bob Taylor was the key judge, but the ETI group now insist the judge's name was Allan Jones.
