I want to refer again in relation to the OECD, to the evidence by Mr. Tom O'Connell, which he gave to the inquiry a few weeks back, and it was in relation to the way OECD and sometimes IMF, but it was specifically OECD country reports were produced. He said:

We would be discussing or interacting with the IMF and the OECD, in particular with the OECD country reports, it was embarrassing. When I used to go to Paris to ... with people to look at the reports, almost every line was parsed and any, anything of a negative nature needed to be taken out.

Was that your experience too of how those events would happen?
