The new ombudsman will be independent so it is not for me to prescribe how he deals with that particular section. As he is coming in here shortly, I am sure if the Deputy asks him he will elaborate. I am not avoiding the issue but the Deputy can see that even at this stage it is important we preserve his independence.
