I am not asking Mr. Breslin to come down against a man who has suffered a bereavement; I am asking him to analyse Mr. Teap's words very distinctly. Mr. Teap said there was a culture of protect and deny. I am sure he would say that he would prefer the truth here today, rather than Mr. Breslin trying to protect his feelings. Mr. Breslin should not use the shield of saying that he will not come down against a man who suffered a bereavement. Mr. Teap would far prefer if Mr. Breslin were honest. Mr. Breslin is the head man and he said there is not a culture of openness in his organisation. The follow-up question to that is: does he have a sense, a feeling or whatever he wishes to call it that there is a culture of trying to suppress information? It is something that frustrates many people here. What is his analysis of that?
