Perhaps I am wrong, but these items of expenditure are noticeable. They are not things one could overlook. If people are flying around the world first class or taking private jets here, there and everywhere or doing all manner of things which are documented, as one of my colleagues suggested, everybody must have known about it, not just members of staff but members of the board. Whereas, these things might not be formally brought to their attention unless those concerned were completely blind they would know what was happening if people were spending money like that. Why does Dr. Neavyn think that was never brought to the attention of the board by a board member or by a member of staff to the board?
