"I take this opportunity to again call upon the Governor to discharge the responsibility of his office, by taking swift and meaningful action against the perpetrators of this nefarious scheme. He must see this as his obligation. Should he fail to do this, the constitutionally elected Government of Bermuda will lose confidence in the current Governor. In that event we will have no choice but to suspend further business with him."

– Premier Dr. Ewart Brown during the Bermuda Housing Corporation (BHC) issue.

"We are aware (the Auditor General) has been arrested, allegedly into the Police investigation into missing documents, and we are unable to comment further at this time."

– a British Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman at the time of Larry Dennis' arrest.

"I am fine. thank you for being here. I do not want to make any comment at this time, I think I really need to think about what's happened."

– Larry Dennis upon his release from a night deep in the Hamilton Police Station.

"The (BHC) allegations are not gratuitous, in that ther is some evidence to support them, as set out in the material so far reported. Nor do the allegations concern the private personal life of those conderned. They touch upon their personal conduct in office. In these circumstances, I think that the public interest is genuinely engaged, and this is not a case of the public being officiously interested in matters which do not concern them. I think, therefore, that the balance comes down firmly against restraining the media's freedom (of) expression."

– Chief Justice Richard Ground

"Where do I start? Am I supposed to start answering allegations just because they're included in a Police investigation? 'When did you stop beating your wife?' and then it becomes ridiculous and I think it's demeaning, it's embarrassing, it's insulting."

– Dr. Brown on Hott 107.5 radio

"I would like to apologise to the publi for the theft of documents that were a part of Police investigations and the subseqent concerns that have aristen in the community and the Service. I abhor the conduct of those that were involved. The BPS is investigating the theft of confidential documents relating to the BHC and other inquiries."

– Commissioner of Police George Jackson
