Did Mrs Bean Tesco's Representative give false information at Rutland County Council Meeting?

At Monday's meeting Tesco's Representative Mrs Bean told the council committee and members of the public, claiming to be quoting from a retail report, Tesco staff contribute around £48,000 to the local retail economy, this was likely to increase to £59,000 if the store was expanded.

This raised a few questions from local people and prompted me to ask the planning department for a transcript of Mrs Bean's deputation or a copy of the report to see how they came to this figure.

Rutland County Councils planning department say this information is not in the mentioned report.

I am awaiting  clarification from Mrs Bean.

Is this a case of Tesco playing dirty tricks or just a error on her part, maybe Tesco can send a representative on 11th October 2010 who will tell the truth at a council meeting.

I wonder how much of the rest of Mrs Bean's  information was made up?
