That is not what I am asking. I wish to stop Mr. Fraser for a second because the Chairman is trying to be helpful. What the Accounting Officer is saying to us is that one of the two substantial reasons the unit has been wound down was a concern from the wider body politic and that he was the one who said there were genuine concerns, some of which he agrees with and some of which he does not. I am not asking him to talk about individual Deputies or the views of any political parties. When he did his report, he came to a view that there were concerns within the body politic. He said some of those concerns were genuine and some he did not agree with. In broad terms, I want a sense of what those concerns were and which ones he does not agree with.

That is not asking Mr. Fraser to put himself in a position of responding to any individual Deputy.
