Mr. Robert Watt:
We did it with economists. We now have the Government economic service. We are doing it with human resources managers. We are now saying the human resources function should be professional and that qualified human resources people should run it. My view is that when it comes to the finance function, qualified accountants and people with accountancy backgrounds should be in finance units. I cannot recall exactly what arose in terms of the minute but I will look at it to see the exact wording of it.
