Mr. David Begg:

I think the board would have welcomed that kind of input because, you know, you're actually, with subjects as complex as these, hugely dependent on the professional staff that you have to identify all sides of a problem. It strikes me that it must be a little bit like being in government, that a Minister would presumably want to hear all sides of an argument from his officials. So my view is it would have been welcomed by the board and there would have been no downside, as far as the board was concerned, to anybody coming forward with a contrary view.
