I had a conversation with Simon O'Brien and, as I stated, I was interested in learning whether any member of GSOC was utilising a UK network connected telephone. I was told that none of them had one. In the presentation that Mr. O'Brien made to the committee, he made a slight comment that maybe it could be changed to access other types of telephones. I genuinely do not know if that is the case. It has never been suggested to me. It has always been suggested to me and the reports I have received suggest to me that it could only access UK network telephones. Perhaps this is an issue that the judge will examine in the context of the inquiry.
