At the same time, in another context, a drip feed is not helpful. If so much time was spent on getting the figures right, I would have believed the written report to back it up would also have been signed off. The Commissioner told us he needs to complete the disciplinary process to give the final report but he does not have the interim report because it is in draft form now. A lot of this seems to hinge on the disciplinary process. How much of the disciplinary action has been initiated so far? What ranks are we talking about? The Commissioner referred to divisional officers. Could he explain the rank of the divisional officers? Is the implication that nobody of a higher rank than divisional officer will be called to account? What is the process for dealing with the divisional officers who might have had a role in this?
