Mr. Michael Howard:
Yes. Can I be very honest with the Deputy and cut to the end of it? I have found this an extremely demanding and difficult thing, personally, to do. I will put it as honestly as that. When I took on the chairing of the audit committee, and I say this in no critical way, it was suggested to me that it is just something where one comes along and one chairs four or six meetings a year. For the first part of it, it was busy and there was a lot of work done. Then this detonated. I was simply being very honest and saying, yes, this is very difficult, even today.
