Father of Claudia Lawrence ‘not aware of statement' issued by spokesman Martin Dales
But Mr Lawrence said in a statement yesterday: “I was not aware of the content of last week’s press release nor even of the fact that it was to be issued. The words and sentiments are those of Martin Dales and not me, as he tells me he tried to make clear. The statement does not in any way reflect my views of my opinion.
“No members of the North Yorkshire police investigation team has ever been ‘rude and unhelpful’ – everyone of them has been most courteous. I have not made any call for an independent review of the police investigation.”
Mr Lawrence, who lives in Slingsby, said the public reaction to Mr Dales’ statement last week had been that he was ungrateful.
He said: “On the contrary, I am most grateful to the police and in particular the investigation team, for continuing to investigate Claudia’s disappearance.”

Pretty uncomfortable, if you disagree with the family spokesman's statement.
