Ms Ann Nolan:

That is not what I meant at all. This decision was made by the entire board, not just by the chairman and the chief executive, and the Comptroller and Auditor General was very critical of the decision. The board invited the Comptroller and Auditor General to meet it and I just thought it would be more sensible for him to do that if he was going to publish a report that would clearly lead to a big row and I thought there was a possibility they might come to a better agreement and understanding.
