We will. I thank the Information Commissioner. I would very much like her thoughts on the fact that in the new insolvency legislation there will be a publicly available list of those who have availed of insolvency deals. The committee has dealt with this issue. To my mind, it is a name and shame policy. We do not know who the bondholders are; we do not know how much was guaranteed, but a person who avails of the legislation will have his or her name and the details on a publicly available site. In her role does Ms O'Reilly think that is reasonable or should that information be protected?
