Deputy Connolly's point is noted. That is a complication for our committee and another exact example of that situation is the PIMCO letter. PIMCO did not attend before the committee in public. NAMA contradicted it in person but all we have from PIMCO is its written statement on the matter. As has been said, we do not have the opportunity to test its evidence in public. We did invite PIMCO and it declined to come. That will always be an issue for us.
