I agree with asking for the business case. There was a very good report in The Sunday Business Poston this issue. The newspaper got information under a freedom of information request that relates to correspondence, emails and exchanges between the unit and the political side. If they are accurate, it was very interesting that clear direction was given around the advertisements in the regional newspapers. It would raise concerns. Given that the information has been supplied to the newspaper, all of that documentation should also be supplied to the committee, with any other relevant documentation. As much information that can be given to us should be given. It is in their interests to give the committee what has been given to the newspaper and more.
