 One of the most controversial aspects of the Lawrence Review Team was a secret meeting held on 14 August 1998 between Richard Walton and an undercover police officer, known only as ''[[N81]]''. The meeting was revealed for the first time in the Ellison Review who was looking into the allegations of another former undercover officer [[Peter Francis]], that he had been tasked to find information which could be used against the Lawrence family and Duwayne Brooks.

 :* DI Walton presented himself at the meeting as being currently engaged with the MPS Lawrence Review Team, and said that he "continued to prepare a draft submission to the inquiry on behalf of the Commissioner"; and
 :* N81 and DI Walton had discussed the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry at the meeting from their own perspectives and that it had been a "fascinating and valuable exchange on an issue that Mr Walton had said continued to dominate the Commissioner’s agenda on a daily basis", and that their "in-depth discussion enabled (Mr Walton) to increase his understanding of the Lawrences’ relationship with the various campaigning groups... of great value as he continued to prepare a draft submission to the inquiry on behalf of the Commissioner".
