Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
We are in the process of setting up a legal unit to deal with tribunals and commissions generally. It will deal with the discovery issue. What happened historically was that whatever policy division was dealing with the matter also had responsibility for establishing a tribunal, carrying out searches and all of the work associated with it. It would also have had the discovery process to deal with during that very busy period.
