The T&G would not give any further details about the allegations but insisted they had 'no bearing on either the origins or the resolution of the present industrial dispute'.

'[Gate chairman] David Siegel [then] immediately called a senior British Airways executive to inform him of the situation,' the caterer said in a statement.
Gate added that it was hiring a team of forensic accountants to investigate the allegations.

A T&G spokesman said the union simply wanted Gate to investigate the claims. "
