Sorry, with respect, I have to ask the witness to hold for a second because we have very limited time windows and the witness is very good at giving long-winded responses to questions. He has given me his position. He joined the organisation later than Professor Barry. Previous to this, an individual was there for 12 months, temporarily, and somebody would have held the post previous to that.

If Mr. Field is not able to take full responsibility because his tenure does not capture all of the time this was happening, logic would dictate that if Professor Barry has taken responsibility. Mr. Field's predecessors have to take responsibility as well.
