I believe the point the Chairman is making - I would probably put it more bluntly – is that, increasingly, in particular since the chairman was not kept in the loop about this, it looks like the board of Rehab was simply a rubber-stamp for the chief executive. That is what it is beginning to look like. It seems she told the board what she felt like telling them. If Mr. Kerr did not know that he was requested to come here when it was absolutely clear that we wanted him, it means that he was being kept in the dark and that the board of Rehab was, therefore, not a proper board but was simply being run by the executive.

I will move on to pay. I wish to ask Mr. Doyle a question. He is chairman of the remuneration committee. Under what code of corporate governance was this committee working?
