Thank you very much, Deputy. I now propose that we take a break for lunch. It's coming up to 14.40. I propose we break until 15.40 and returning maybe 15.40-15.45. In that regard, can I now excuse the witness. We just need to have a brief private session ourselves, just to deal with one notification matter, and we can return. So, in doing so, the witness is reminded that once he begins giving evidence, he should not confer with any person other than his legal team in relation to their evidence on matters that are being discussed before the committee. With that in mind, I now propose to suspend to go into a private session and to return in public session at 3.40 p.m.
