Mr. William Beausang:

There is an important point to be made here, and it came up the previous time we were here. It is never possible to say whether a disclosure is a protected disclosure until a third-party process adjudicates on that and a claim is determined in looking at whether a person has been penalised for making a protected disclosure. Obviously, the policy is that an assessment is made as to whether an issue should be treated as if it was a protected disclosure and as to whether it looks, by virtue of that process, that it may fall into that category and should be treated in a serious manner as a result of that, but one cannot determine outside the legal process whether a protected disclosure was made.

We must be careful on that as otherwise-----
