It was agreed at the last meeting that we would write to invite a representative of HSBC to attend. As I said, that person attended the UK public accounts committee hearing. We are now told that it did not happen. I agree that that is not acceptable. However, in the light of what Deputies Joe Costello and Shane Ross have said about the person in London not being available, we will have to establish by way of correspondence if they will make themselves available to attend a further hearing. I cannot address the fact that the letter was not sent.
