I have had a request for a short comfort break. We'll do that for five minutes, returning just before 4.55 p.m. if that is agreed. Is that agreed? Agreed. Just in doing so, I would just remind the witness that once he begins giving evidence he should not confer with any person other than his legal team in relation to the evidence or matters that are being discussed before the committee. With that in mind, I suspend the meeting now until 4.55 p.m. and remind the witness that he is still under oath until we resume. Is that agreed? Agreed.
