That e-mail was sent on 5 July, and the telephone request was made around the same time. The date was 5 July.

The brief was prepared, as I understand it, in line with Civil Service norms - Ms McGrath states that in her letter also - and it was not something that was concocted out of the blue. In terms of the planning, it adhered to Civil Service norms. What Ms McGrath is saying in that particular comment is that Ministers' offices generally are the same and there is a norm for them, the position for junior Ministers is likewise, and, apparently, it goes down to Secretary General, assistant secretary and whatever the levels underneath that, so that most of the offices, in terms of square footage and accommodation, are constructed in exactly the same way. Would that be correct?
