Any analysis we have of this discussion can be done in private session and I will say the same to any other Deputy here. The nature of committees is that we are cross-party and we put direct questions to witnesses who are entitled to come in to us, and whom we welcome to come in to us, but we do not make a political football within committees. That is the strength of committees and, as Chairman, I am going to maintain that.
