I do not intend that anyone would be a permanent member of TLAC. As with any appointment I make, it is for a specific period of time. If we have made any appointment that creates the impression that somebody has been a permanent member of TLAC I will follow up on that because that is not my intention. I believe the membership should change. I will see if we can get the information for you, Chairman, regarding the number of external appointments that have been made by TLAC.

We are undertaking a review at the moment of protected disclosure policy.

I do not want a situation to arise whereby a person who is reviewing the protected disclosure information or the protected disclosure itself is somebody who is subject to that disclosure. This should not happen. If it is happening - and I take the Deputy's words in good faith - I would be happy to receive the details of it. That should not be happening.
