There was no cover-up here. The Deputy has a detailed report with a lot of documentation to back up its conclusions. Everybody who was involved in the incident concerned was interviewed and we are here to answer questions on it. There was absolutely no cover-up. This was a very public mistake. Thousands of people follow the former Secretary General on Twitter. This was a very public mistake and there was a very public acknowledgement of that mistake.
