Given the evidence we have heard previously on what the Commissioner was told in July 2015, which is disputed by different evidence we have heard from many different witnesses, would the Comptroller and Auditor General have expected to be informed of matters that were being examined or investigated internally prior to the completion of an investigation? In other words, we now know the Commissioner was informed by legal letter, a letter we cannot see, which I will return to, on 24 July and that a meeting took place on 27 July. There is a dispute on when the committee was set up. A further meeting or document was put in place on 28 July, which we were told today. Would the Comptroller and Auditor General have expected that prior to the completion of such an investigation, he would have been informed once the Commissioner was made aware of these issues?
