Mr. Martin Fraser:

I am sorry, but if I could just explain the process to the Deputy, and if he will bear with me, I will be finished in only two or three more sentences. Candidates are shortlisted and then preliminary interviews are held, and that is all done by the Public Appointments Service. A secretary from the Public Appointments Service attends those interview boards and keeps all the paperwork. Final interviews are then held. Before those interviews, full psychological assessments are undertaken, which take three or four hours for each candidate, and reports are subsequently prepared. References are then taken. Candidates obviously must also submit their curricula vitae and application forms and they must then deliver a presentation to the Top-Level Appointments Committee. That committee then interviews each candidate for up to an hour and each candidate is scored by the committee. The committee then reaches its conclusion based on the whole process. I can certainly get the Deputy information on the process. Obviously, the scores for individual candidates are confidential, but that is how it works.
