Mr. John Moran:

I think since April. If a request or an approach is made to re-engage with the Department, we can try to expedite any information we can provide, which will probably involve communications with the special liquidator in order to accelerate any decision the commissioner would like to make. I have said I have no role in that decision. I do not think it would be appropriate for me to remake that decision because I have no statutory role in that regard. I have said that owing to the concerns raised in the past couple of days I asked to see the file to look at the documents. People may recall that at the time of the FOI request last year loans were held by a different bank; they are now in the hands of a special liquidator who is following a very different and much more public process for the sale of the loans. Some of the information in the e-mails passed to the Department to make sure it was treated fairly is less sensitive now but that is not my decision.
