Mr. Philip Carroll:

In all cases, in the early stages there was a degree of contact between the HSE at local rather than national level, as distinct from the wider HSE protocols I referenced in my opening statement that were published on 15 May. There was a degree of consultation at local level between the HSE and all of the plant management. At no point was there any divergence of view as to the efficacy at that stage of the protocols and their implementation at plant level.
