Mr. ... Mr. Gerry McGinn, who became your successor, talked about the shoddy and well-below-standard practice in relation to what went on in Nationwide. He talked about it as an "outrage" but he also carried out a review into what was called "celebrity loans". He said that there was nothing untoward in relation to them because the ... powers had been devolved by the board to you which could allow you to have interest-only repayments or moratoriums or reduced rates. So was this ... was there a special category for certain connected people? I think there was reference to sports stars and politicians and some others which Mr. Fingleton gave these celebrity loans to.
