It has been put into the public domain by somebody within the Department who provided information to the Nyberg commission relating to responses that she made to parliamentary questions. As these went up the chain in the Department of Finance, the suggestion was that those responses and the language were neutered and some language was deleted. She was told to use the phrase "a soft landing" and so on. When questioned by a national newspaper at the time, the Department of Finance responded that Mr. Wright was carrying out a report and he had access to all staff members in the Department of Finance. Did Mr. Wright interview the person in question to whom I refer?
