Chairman:

The acting director of the museum between March 2012 and June 2013 was an official from the Minister's Department. There is perhaps an issue of vicarious liability in this situation as a result. Perhaps the Minister has some direct liability because the official in place at that time was an employee of the Department. Will the Minister give us her view on that?

It is plain to see that these are not just legacy issues. The former director of the museum has stated that he understands that the same culture still exists. My instinct would be, because of the vicarious liability which extends to the Minister, that she should seek to carry out an investigation into all of these issues.
