The Department did not comply fully in sending documentation until the events of the past few weeks and the discovery of the additional emails which the Secretary General says she did not know of or did not have, but obviously the Department did have them as they were available within it. The Secretary General did not look for them either because she did not think it was worth her while to do so or else, somehow or other, she did look for them and made a value judgment that they were not relevant. Her argument is that she did not look for them.
