Actually, that's not quite the way it went.  It's worse.

Parks delivered his report to Cull (on June 5, 1995 I believe) and
Neely and Walsh were already there.  Neely was apparantly the guy on
Harcourt's staff charged with managing the situation.  Parks told them
he tought a criminal investigation could well spring from the reports
contents.  The three of them then read the report.

It was not until the following day (and, apparantly after another call
from Parks) that Cull briefed the cabinet committee and some other
party insiders on the contents of the report.  Shortly thereafter, the
government concluded they would have to keep it under wraps pending
the out come the criminal investigation.
