Well, to begin with, a summons for a sovereign citizen of another country has no effect from this committee, so there is that. It was relayed back to me from Meta that there wasn't a need to abide by the conditions of a summons, because it had no effect.
They extended an offer to have Mr. Clegg appear voluntarily if the framing of the meeting was such that it was an invitation and a collaboration and an effort to work collaboratively with the committee. That was all set up.
Then, as the events unfolded, I was instructed to alter the title of the committee's study from a generic description to the exact language of the motion, which presented a different framing for the meeting, which was perhaps unpalatable to Sir Nick Clegg.
