Mr. Patrick Robinson:

It was both. We did fund it partly, but we are often in a quite tricky situation here. In order to demonstrate that something is or is not the case, research is required. Others do not necessarily always have the resources to do the research so we often have to contribute. In doing so, we make sure the process is incredibly independent. We had quite a robust exchange of views with the Institute for Public Policy Research, IPPR, about some things on which we vehemently disagreed. Ultimately, they were looking at our primary data. We gave them access on an anonymised basis to the information they needed to do that study. What came out of the research reflects their views. Every instance in which we have referred to that report and every way we have framed the research has been with their approval and in a way they would accept. We would encourage others to do the same. We have done similar surveys in other places.
