I have one more question. During this discussion Ms McPhillips has given multiple answers about the tens of thousands of documents that would have to be looked at. Will she explain to me the process that was engaged in in the further trawl? Were tens of thousands of documents involved? Did the Department make another value judgment that it was not going to look at so many documents? Did it select a cross-section that it considered to be relevant? In the case of the further trawl, what was done in the Department to ascertain that it had really got to the bottom of what was in its possession somewhere?
